Strengthening Stepfamilies - Online Petition

Description/History:
Stepfamilies Australia is a network of state stepfamily associations, working towards forming a new national stepfamily association.

Stepfamilies Australia will provide:
• a national ‘voice’ to raise the profile of stepfamilies
• information and support services including a telephone helpline
• research around stepfamily issues
• links to state stepfamily associations and services
For too long, stepfamilies in Australia have been discounted, but stepfamilies have lots to offer Australian society. They demonstrate flexibility, respect, and ability to adjust creatively to change.

Stepfamilies Australia invites the Australian Government to:
- develop stepfamily-inclusive family policy
- recognise that repartnering with children brings complex unique challenges which often places family stability at risk, and
- provide adequately funded, specialised prevention and early intervention supports

All stepfamilies and supporters are invited to:
• Sign the online petition
• email your family, friends and colleagues to support it too
• visit your local Federal MP, tell your stepfamily story, educate them about stepfamilies unique issues and need for more support.
