Welcome to the Australian College for Child & Family Protection Practitioners (ACCFPP) website
The concept for the ACCFPP (the College) grew out of a recognised need for a professional organisation for practitioners in the child and family protection and support fields to promote and respond to matters of relevance for practice in this field. The College began in August 2005 to provide the opportunity for a national peak body representing child and family protection and support practitioners that is both multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral. The College has received broad support from practitioners, researchers and academics in the field.
The ACCFPP invites your enthusiastic participation and contribution for both your own professional growth and the advancement of the sector and the ACCFPP.
