Aunties and Uncles Phone: 9638 2480
The aunty and uncle program can take you out for the day, once a month. When people have got to know each other, kids can then sleep over for the weekend once a month, if they wish. There is one set of aunties and uncles for each child in the family – you don’t go with your brothers and sisters on these outings. Kids can keep their aunties and uncles for an extended time. This is a free service.
