  • To assist member groups to strengthen their capacity to provide information, services and supports for lone parents (especially those who are isolated) living in their communities.
  • To campaign for policy change that recognises family diversity, supports access to appropriate public services, economic independence and improves the quality of life for lone parents and their children.
