About

The need for Family Support Programs in NSW was identified and debated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the Federal Parliament. These programs grew out of the recognition that society was changing and that services needed to adapt to help provide the best support possible.

Tamworth Family Support Service (TFSS) was funded out of this scheme in 1979 as an incorporated association. In the years that followed, our programs expanded to include Homelessness, Youth, Community and Domestic Violence services. Our service footprint also expanded across the New England Northwest region. To accurately represent the communities that we support, our branding changed from Tamworth Family Support Service to ‘TFSS’ in 2015.
