The Newpin (New Parent Infant Network) SBB has a focus on reunifying Aboriginal and Torres Islander children in the child protection system safely with their families.
The service is being delivered by Uniting Care Queensland — with the first Newpin Centre opening in Cairns in January 2017. Family referrals have commenced and planning is underway for a further two centres scheduled to open in early 2019 and 2020.
Over the next seven years, approximately 200 families will be referred to the service.
