Who We Are
SNAICC – National Voice for our Children is the national non-government peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families, and the Sectors that support them.
As the national Aboriginal community-controlled organisation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, we exist to amplify the voice of Community and sector across Australia. We are the voice for our children and families, advocating for their right to grow up healthy, strong and self-determined and connected to culture and Community.
We represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, communities and organisations to all Australian governments and advise on government strategy and actions; and design policy that influences sustained positive systemic and institutional change at the top level.
