New vision key to SNAICC 2016-2021 Strategic Plan

November 28, 2016

Today SNAICC announced an ambitious plan to see radical change in the well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, including higher rates of early childhood learning and reduced rates of contact with the child protection system.

We are deeply distressed by the realities that our children experience today across Australia and believe that we need a new approach to tackle the impacts of entrenched and pervasive discrimination and trauma.”

– Sharron Williams, SNAICC Chairperson

To achieve genuine change, SNAICC will progress key strategies across its advocacy, policy, resources, training, communications and administration teams, with a focus on three content areas:

  1. Improving the cultural safety and responsiveness of child protection systems
  2. Strengthening the safety and well-being of our children, raised within family and culture
  3. Increasing access to quality early childhood development

SNAICC seeks to harness the potential of our combined expertise to see substantial improvements for the basic human rights of our children and their families.”

– Sharron Williams, SNAICC Chairperson

In practise, this strategic plan will see SNAICC:

  • Continue to build momentum for the Family Matters: Strong communities. Strong culture. Stronger children campaign, and focus in particular on building community engagement and focus.
  • Advocate for a strong Aboriginal program within the Jobs for Families Child Care package and amendments to ensure improved access to early learning services for our children.
  • Produce quality SNAICC position papers, achieving tangible progress, across targeted states on family violence, effective intensive family support services, Aboriginal family led decision-making and reunification.
  • Work with states to improve compliance with the Child Placement Principle.
  • Finalise and roll out our new training and mentorship programs, including holistic work with men, women, children and communities on family violence; trauma informed practice; cultural competency in the early years; and developmental supports for families working with children.
  • Continue to increase our public profile, legitimacy and presence in public debate.
  • Improve our internal systems and support to ensure effectiveness and staff well-being.
