Relationships Australia is a leading provider of relationship support services and our aim is to support all Australians to achieve positive and respectful relationships.

Relationships Australia is a network of community based, not-for-profit organisations with no religious affiliations based in each state and territory. Our services are for all members of the community regardless of their religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, lifestyle choice, cultural background or economic circumstances.

With more than 60 years’ experience, Relationships Australia provides confidential relationship support services including counselling and education for individuals, couples and families; family dispute resolution; family violence; personal development; and training for professionals.

Our services are provided by professional trained and highly skilled staff.

The current Relationships Australia federation has member organisations in each state and territory. There are more than 200 centres from which services are provided and around 2,000 staff across the country in city, suburban, regional, rural and remote locations across Australia.

In the last financial year, over 60% of our funding came from the Australian Government through the Family Relationship Services Program (FRSP). This funding is supplemented through client fees, our training programs, state and territory government support, sales of publications, sponsorships, donations and other sources.
