Service integration for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood development
Description
The research aimed to resolve a gap in existing evidence around best practice service delivery approaches for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families experiencing vulnerability, with a specific focus on integrated models of early childhood service delivery that are led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled organisations. This was a collaborative research project involving two Aboriginal Child and Family Centres, both committed to the provision of holistic, comprehensive (or ‘wrap around’) care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families living in or visiting the catchment in which they operate.
