Parent Pathways is helping thousands of parents and carers across Australia turn their goals into reality.
Whether it's starting a course, finding a job or launching a business, the Albanese Labor Government is providing practical, personalised support to help parents build their futures.
Two years since its launch in November 2024, Parent Pathways has supported more than 44,000 people. Providing personalised mentoring. Offering practical assistance. And creating pathways to education, training and employment opportunities.
Amongst those supported is more than 4,000 First Nations parents and carers. 14,500 single parents and almost 6,000 parents and carers with disability.
More than 20,000 participants have commenced education or training, with 2,100 already completing their studies.
Parent Pathways is designed to fit around family life. Because parents shouldn't have to choose between caring for their families and pursuing their ambitions.
Jannette, a First Nations mother with a passion for working outdoors and on Country, found new opportunities through Parent Pathways. While studying Conservation and Ecosystem Management, she gained valuable experience as a Cultural Liaison Officer.
For Jessica, finding the right support was key to balancing life as a single mum. With her mentor's help, she turned her passion for nail art into a successful business after completing a Certificate III in Nail Technology.
The Albanese Labor Government is reforming employment services to deliver more personalised support and better respond to the needs of Australians. Parent Pathways is part of that commitment, co-designed with parents, carers and community organisations to put families at the centre and help parents achieve their employment and career goals.
