Family Works Central
Safe children. Strong families. Connected communities.
At Family Works, we’re building an Aotearoa where all tamariki, families and communities are safe, strong and connected. We’re a family-focused social service agency supporting vulnerable people to thrive.

Family Dispute Resolution
Our family resolution service provides a qualified family mediator who will listen to all points of view and help you reach an agreement about looking after your children – without the need to go to family court.
