At the programs launch Mr Andrews argued that Australia needed to strengthen relationships for the good of the community.

“Happy, healthy and strong relationships are vital for individual and family well-being, and help to strengthen communities too,” Andrews said.

“Divorce and relationship breakdown costs the Australian economy around $3 billion every year, and has a significant and often inter-generational impact on individuals, children and communities.”

If your thinking of heading off on a relationship course, maybe consider picking up one of the remaining 96,550 vouchers. Department of Social Services ‘Stronger Relationships’ funding. For more info on the funding head to www.dss.gov.au
