At O’Sullivan Legal, we recognise that parenting during and after separation comes with its own challenges.  

Court-approved parenting programs provide separated families with vital tools to manage co-parenting arrangements, improve communication, and prioritise children’s wellbeing. Whether required by the court or voluntarily attended, these programs offer practical strategies to support families through the transition. 

Below, we’ve outlined a range of parenting classes and programs available in Australia.
