This free, catered event welcomes you to connect, engage and make a real difference in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and young people.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children remain over-represented in out-of-home care. Many services struggle to ensure culturally sensitive engagement that meets the unique needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.

- Trauma-informed practices
- Organisational self-assessment and improvement
- Critical reflection on service delivery
Knowledge you’ll walk away with:
Deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural contexts
