Nearly twenty years ago, my sister and I studied Parent Effectiveness Training. She had just done it and encouraged me to as well when I complained about how hard I was finding it to discipline my two boys then aged 3 and nearly 5.

Many fathers were attracted to PET because they could see the skills breaking the parenting cycle of their heritage. Rather than continue their family’s power-based relationship pattern, they wanted to begin a family history of strong, lasting and respectful relationships between parents and children.
The Effectiveness Training Institute of Australia (ETIA) Ltd is a not-for-profit, community based organisation that is dedicated to making courses in communication and conflict resolution skills available and accessible to all people in Australia.
ETIA’s mission is to provide individuals with effective communication and conflict resolution skills to build connected, harmonious relationships.
Our inspiration and programs come from the late Dr Thomas Gordon who is the author and founder of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) program and Gordon Training International (GTI).
