Family Relationships Information and Library Service (NSW)

The Family Relationships Information and Library Service (NSW), or FRiLS, primarily supports staff and students of Relationships Australia (NSW) with their research and information requirements.  Other organisations and professionals in the private sector may apply to join the service.  A membership fee applies.

FRiLS has one of the most extensive collections of family therapy materials in Australia. As well as the collection of approximately 4000 books, 180 audio/visual items and 60 journal titles, the library has access to the most relevant databases in the field. The collection includes family therapy, couples counselling, family dispute resolution, and related topics.

FRiLS members all over Australia use the library remotely.  FRiLS staff conduct literature searches; email, fax or post results; send out resources all over Australia; access books and articles we don't have via Inter-Library Loan, and supply just-in-time, relevant responses to your information needs.
