Triple P – Positive Parenting Program
It’s not only children and teens who benefit from positive parenting. It also makes family life more enjoyable, easier and more rewarding for parents.
More and more parents understand that it’s okay to ask for help and, in Queensland, positive parenting support to suit every family is free for any parent or carer of a child up to 16 years old.
The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is used around the world and was developed right here in Queensland. It helps parents to raise children and teens who grow up to be happy and healthy. Thousands of Queensland parents have already done Triple P and recommend it.
Triple P offers practical skills and tools to help parents:
- develop strong, positive relationships with their children
- set limits and establish family routines that work
- encourage and teach prosocial skills
- confidently respond to challenges
- balance work and family with less stress
- create a happy, safe, and supportive family
What support is available for parents?
No matter what stage of life your child is at—or what challenges you’re facing—Triple P can help you learn simple but proven ways to give them the best opportunity to reach their full potential. It offers a range of seminars, group workshops and one-on-one consultations delivered as either:
- one-off sessions
- part of a series over several weeks or months
- self-paced online courses including Triple P Online for Baby, Triple P Online, Teen Triple P Online and Fear-Less Triple P Online.
You can choose as much or as little help as you like—depending on your individual preferences and situation—and you choose which strategies you'd like to try at home.

To help integrate Triple P into their service provision, participating organisations are supported by an Implementation Consultant.
