Lets find your path to
employment

Are you a parent looking for your next step when your child starts school?

We can help.

APM delivers the ParentsNext program on behalf of the Australian Government in Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.

If you're required to join ParentsNext, you will be notified by Centrelink and assigned to a provider.

If you're assigned to APM, you can rest assured you're in safe hands.

Whether you're required to join, or come to us directly, we will help you identify and achieve your job goals, earn more money and better support your family.


How will APM help me?

We understand helping your child to make the best start is your top priority when they begin school. We also know how reaching your own goals are very important for you and your family.

Our ParentsNext team will listen to you and get to know your circumstances.

We will help you identify the type of job that works for you and assist you to achieve your goals for education and employment.

If there’s a particular job you’re interested in, we’ll help you find out how to get there, and support you through your first steps.

We also connect you with other services and support when you need it. This may include health, education, childcare, housing and connecting with other parents local to you.
