The Saltbush Child and Family Learning Centre will be co-located on the Kingston Primary School site, providing critical services for children and families in the Kingborough Local Government Area.

The new Child and Family Learning Centre (CFLC) will offer a variety of services to support you, all in one place. It is somewhere you and your child can make friends and they can learn as they play. It’s a welcoming place where you can get advice on health and family matters, education and training. For families and young children, its a friendly and caring environment that supports you with health and wellbeing services for children from birth to age 5.
