SNAICC – National Voice for our Children
Strategic Plan 2025–2028
The SNAICC Strategic Plan 2025–2028 is our story of change which speaks to our vision and aspirations for our children, carrying the legacy of our communities and leaders who have carved this path on which we walk.
The story of SNAICC – National Voice for our Children as the National Voice and peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children has been formed through a journey of over 43 years. Since 1981, we have been working for the fulfilment of the rights of our children, and the self-determination of our communities to ensure their identity, wellbeing, safety, development and connection to culture. Our Strategic Plan 2025–2028 takes us through the core components of our story of change – a map which reflects the shifts in landscape and the continual growth of SNAICC. The Strategic Plan outlines our vision for our children and young people and the strategic steps we will take over the next three years to get there.
SNAICC champions the principles of community control and self-determination as the means for sustained improvements for children and families, which has been at the heart of SNAICC’s work. In the four years since the signing of the new National Agreement on Closing the Gap in July 2020, SNAICC and our members have experienced significant growth and demand for our expertise, knowledge and services. Our landscape continues to shift and change yet our purpose remains as urgent and relevant as before.
It is our birthright that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people are thriving in culture, raised within strong families and self-determining communities, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Born in Broome, Tovani is passionate about art and design and often her inspiration is from her long standing commitment to self-determination and rights of first nations people and communities. She was predominantly raised in Noongar country in Perth, and since early 2017 has been living in Melbourne on Wurundjeri country, and travels home to the Kimberley as often as she can to connect with kin and country.
Marulu
Marulu is a Bunuba word. It means precious, worth nurturing. Every child is precious, and each child deserves to be loved, nurtured, supported, and safe.
As the national peak SNAICC continues to pursue and strive for a society where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s voices and needs are prioritised in a community, program, and policy setting.
SNAICC is represented as the main circle image in this piece. The inner circle images are the core business and work of SNAICC through its people, both its workers and the governing board. The outer layer images represent the various existing State and Territory Peaks and lead organisations.
The flow of this piece speaks about our journey, ensuring that our children are loved, nurtured, supported and safe, and they are represented by the small dots. The larger circles and dots are representative of the various programs, policies, and reform priorities that SNAICC works with or is leading as their role as the national peak and voice for our children.
