At Fresh4Families, we combine the expertise of Independent Social Work practice with the supportive role of McKenzie Friends, providing a unique, compassionate, and professional service for families navigating the complexities of child welfare and the family court system.

Our parenting assessments are procedurally thorough, evidence-based, and delivered with fairness and empathy. We work transparently with parents, legal professionals, and local authorities to ensure each assessment provides clear, balanced insight into parenting capacity and family strengths, enabling informed, child-centred decisions to be made.

Fresh4Families was established in 2023 to stand alongside parents who are representing themselves in family court. We understand how confusing, emotional, and overwhelming this process can be, and we’re here to make sure no parent has to go through it alone.

Our McKenzie Friend service provides clear, practical support helping parents prepare documents, understand their rights, and feel confident in court. We break down legal jargon and ensure that both your voice and your child’s best interests remain at the heart of proceedings.

Whether we’re undertaking a detailed parenting assessment or providing hands-on court support, our goal is the same: to empower families, promote fairness, and help parents present their cases and capabilities with confidence and dignity.

At Fresh4Families, we don’t just work for parents — we work with them, ensuring every family is heard, supported, and treated with respect.
