More information on Family Matters 2024 Report
The annual Family Matters Report examines government actions to address the over-representation and the outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in child protection systems.
The Family Matters 2024 Report highlights Aboriginal-led solutions, featuring three case studies from community-controlled organisations that provide culturally safe wraparound services, ensuring children grow up strong in family and connected to culture and kin. The report also presents recommendations to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. Key areas for action include increasing funding for ACCO-led prevention programs, empowering Aboriginal communities to control decisions affecting their children and implementing national standards for the Child Placement Principle.
