Our Work

What We Do

As an organisation, our work focuses on three key areas: research and policy, advocacy and sector development. Through this, we design policies that promote sustained positive systemic and institutional change, advise governments on strategies and actions and, consequently, play a pivotal role in shaping legislation, policies and practices that inherently support the safety, development and wellbeing of our children.

Our work covers a broad spectrum of sectors, including Early Childhood Development, Child & Family Wellbeing and Child & Maternal Health. Within these areas, we represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, communities and organisations to all levels of the Australian Government. 

We actively collaborate with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations, non-Indigenous service providers and all levels of governments to enhance the design and delivery of supports and services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. Through these engagements, we work to effectuate genuine, long-term changes that improve outcomes and opportunities for our children and strengthen the capacities of families across Australia.
