Mallee Family Care

Caring for people since 1979.
We are working hard to makes this the reality for the Mallee region.

Mallee Family Care is a not-for-profit organisation that has been supporting the communities of northwest Victoria and far west New South Wales since 1979. With federal, state and philanthropic funding, the agency employs 200+ staff to deliver over 70 programs and services with a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for vulnerable children, young people, adults and families who are facing dis

advantage. Mallee Family Care is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme provider and offers children’s and family counselling, mental health support, financial counselling, legal advice, early years support and also delivers a foster care program. The organisation believes it is important to support government policy that works to reduce barriers and expand choice and potential for all members of the community and as such, is a regional leader in advocacy, consultation and research. We know strong communities are those in which the disadvantaged are supported and where opportunities are available to everyone. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people. They have never ceded sovereignty, and remain strong in their enduring connection to land, water and culture. Mallee Family Care is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Everyone is welcome and supported to access our services, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexuality.

We're delighted to welcome Danielle Hren from the English and Culture Learning Centre as a workshop presenter at the 2026 Mallee Early Years Conference.

𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻. 🌎

How well do we truly understand the families and communities we work with?

This thought-provoking workshop invites early years professionals to look beyond assumptions, examine privilege, and build genuine cross-cultural communication skills.

Drawing on cultural knowledge of the key CALD communities in our region, Danielle will guide participants through honest conversations about bias and what it means to provide truly inclusive, empathetic support.

You'll walk away with a greater understanding of our local communities, practical tools for cross-cultural communication, and a deeper appreciation of the courage and resilience behind every refugee's journey to Australia.
