About Us

A and D In-Home Care is a local service provider in the Nepean, Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury local districts providing child and family support services to children, young people and vulnerable families . We are a culturally diverse team of professional staff trained in trauma informed care and provide a variety of services including SIBS Connect, accommodation and respite care, mobile playgroups, education support, recreation groups, camps and supervision of family time visits and transport.

At A and D Child and Family Support our services are inclusive of all abilities and promote empowerment of the individual through informed choice and decision making opportunities.

Sibs-Connect

At A and D In-Home Care we understand the importance of maintaining sibling relationships. Unfortunately for some children who are in foster care for many reasons beyond their control this is not a reality.

We are a child safe organisation based in Western Sydney and service NSW. We are a highly professional team of trauma-informed support staff who understand the complexities of trauma and the long term impact it has on children and young people. Our staff are all trained in supporting children and young people with complex needs and work in a holistic way with the carers, case workers, children and young people to ensure that they achieve their goals during the camps.

We work using a strength-based program and provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment where the children can spend quality time with their siblings having fun and making special life long memories together.

Our programs cater for any child between 5-17 years old who are under the Parental Responsibility of the Minister, living in a separate home from their siblings and include weekend and school holiday camps, day camps & recreation groups.

Respite and School Holiday Camps

A and D Child & Family Support Program is a child safe organisation registered with the Office of the Children’s Guardian based in Western Sydney and we cater for children within NSW.  We are a trauma-informed service using a strengths-based program and believe that every child has the right to have new experiences, develop social connections and expand their support network while having fun in a safe and nurturing environment.
