Transition to Contemporary Parenthood

The Transition to Contemporary Parenthood Program – Preparation and Support (TCPP) was established in 2013 as the result of a major gift from Mrs Roberta Holmes. TCPP undertakes innovative research to identify the best ways to support mothers and fathers in their roles as parents.
The program examines the influence of contemporary factors on parents and how these affect children’s healthy development. This information is then used to guide the design of new or improved programs and supports for parents. Much of our work involves long-standing collaborations, especially with The Australian National University, Deakin University, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, the Parenting Research Centre and Queensland University of Technology.
