The Department of Communities
has produced this guide to help
Western Australian grandfamilies
and to assist those who provide
support and information to
grandfamilies.
The booklet begins with what
grandparents might want to know
when they start caring full-time for
their grandchildren. The sections
that follow cover a range of practical
matters like financial assistance,
accommodation and childcare
and then shift to parenting and
children’s wellbeing and then, lastly,
problems for young people such as
substance abuse.
