Interrelate Family Centres at Lismore has been an active member of the local community for over 20 years, providing services to assist families, partners and individuals to enhance their relationships.
Lismore is part of the rainbow region of Northern NSW and we provide services to a wide geographic location. We are proud to acknowledge that we are on Bunjulung land and pay our respects and give thanks to the Bunjulung community.
Our region extends northern to the Tweed and includes Ballina, Byron Bay and extends west to Casino and Kyogle. Our region includes Mullumbimby, Nimbin and many hamlets in the region. We offer outreach services to Ballina, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Mullumbimby, Casino and Kyogle.
The region has experienced huge growth in population with many tree changers and sea changers deserting the cities for a more relaxed lifestyle. Our population is very diverse with a large number of Indigenous families and a small Sudanese population.
We welcome you to our services and hope to see you soon!
