This paper presents program and funding ideas to support integrated services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. Its immediate focus is the Budget Based Funded (BBF) services and Aboriginal Child and Family Centres (ACFCs). Its broader aim is to help develop policy and funding ideas for sustainable, community-managed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s services.
The paper calls for a new program objective and endorses, with minor modifications, a funding model developed by SNAICC following extensive consultation, research and analysis.
