The Pilbara Regiment Family Group (PRFG) has been established to support members and their families posted to the remote regions of the Pilbara Regiment. We utilise funding via the Community Support Coordination Program (CSCP) facilitated by Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS) to organise and facilitate a number of events, programs and generate opportunities which:
Increase social connectedness
Strengthen family and community functioning
Increase community engagement
The CSCP grant funds are provided by the Australian Government.
To strengthen the Pilbara Regiment Family by providing support to all members (ARA, Reservists and Civilian Employees) and their families through building and sustaining social connectedness for the purpose of shaping ourselves into an effective interactive group.
Our vision is to build resilience in Individuals and Families who encompass the Pilbara Regiment, by exploring and initiating opportunities which support and contribute to the effectiveness of the Pilbara Regiment Capability. We will maintain a Regiment Family support network and increase social connectedness to address the challenges of this unique posting.
