The over-representation of Pacific Island families in child protection and juvenile justice contexts has resulted in the development of strategies aimed at changing this trend. This paper is concerned with a parent education program based on the TIPS program, developed in New Zealand, conducted with a number of Pacific Island communities including parents from Samoa, Nuie, Tonga, the Cook Islands, and Tokelau, who live in the western suburbs of Sydney. This paper describes the needs of Pacific Island families in Australia, with particular reference to their role as parents. After describing the context of service delivery, the various stages of the project, which has involved recruiting and training appropriate group facilitators to run parent education courses with specific Pacific Island communities, will be discussed. The most recent development in the project has been the awarding of a substantial grant through the Youth Partnership Program of the Pacific Island Communities Council supported by the NSW state government. Issues regarding the sustainability and cultural sensitivities involved in such projects will be examined.
