About HIPPY

The Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY) is a home-based parenting and early childhood enrichment program targeting disadvantaged families in our community. HIPPY empowers parents to be their children's first   teacher and fosters parent involvement in school and community life, to maximise the chances of a successful early school experience. For some parents, it also offers a supported pathway to employment and local community leadership.

"HIPPY Australia (Brotherhood of St Laurence) is proud to acknowledge its partnership with AXA, which since 2005 has supported the
development and extension of the program to many more communities across Australia. The Brotherhood also acknowledges the financial
support of the Myer Foundation and Victorian State Government for HIPPY programs in local communities since 2007."
