Drama shown in 70s - Children's TV

Very sketchy memories of this one. It was a drama shown i am guessing around mid-70s. There was a family, it might have been set in Australia but not certain, and there was a strict father and about 4 or 5 kids, i dont think there was a mother around. I do remember the father shouting at the kids for very little reason and he was a total disciplinarian, however one of the daughters (may have been called Helen) started coughing up blood and the father was totally distraught and showed a different side of him. I was only very young at the time but remember my own older brother imitating the strict father. If anyone can assist with this i would be stunned! thanks in advance

maybe the Sullivan’s? only Ozzie thing I remember from that era
Not children’s TV but shown at a time when Kids could watch it

[George 1978]

It made me think of And Mother Makes Three / Five etc, but that was a sitcom (seen a couple of episodes on YT).

i have now solved this, it was called Seven Little Australians. I guess the clue was in the title all along! It may be that it was shown daytime rather than being aimed at children.
