About Us
Big Brown House was established in 2011, as a response to assist the Family Court and community with supportive family services in Newcastle, NSW.
Since then, we have expanded our services across NSW, including the Hunter, Central Coast, Sydney, Mid North Coast and Western areas of NSW.
The team at Big Brown House is made up of a group of experienced professionals of varying backgrounds, all with a common goal; to provide therapeutic support services that facilitate positive outcomes for children, young people and families.
At Big Brown House, we are dedicated to meeting community needs by offering a range of therapeutic services to support family and child wellbeing.
