History of FLC

What do we do?


First Light Care strives to promote better interpersonal relationships, personal development, marital growth and healthy family lives in the community through professional counselling, education and training.

The vision of First Light Care is the development of an Australia in which people of all ages, in all their diversity are enabled to develop and sustain safe, supportive and nurturing family relationships; minimising and preventing the physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and economic costs associated with harmful behaviour and disruption to family relationships.

Values


First Light Care is committed to the Christian values of compassion and justice; advocating for human dignity; and respect for diversity and individuality.

We serve all people regardless of their racial, cultural and socio-economical backgrounds as well as their value or belief systems.
