Together with our non-government partners, we are changing the way we work with and provide services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities to improve the wellbeing and safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, children and young people.
The Queensland Government has committed $150 million over five years to establish Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Wellbeing Services to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families who may be experiencing vulnerabity across the state.
The new Family Wellbeing Services make it easier for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in communities across Queensland to access culturally responsive support to improve their social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing, and build their capacity to safely care for and protect their children.
This program combines the functions of the following existing family support programs into one community-run Family Wellbeing Service:
•Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Support Service
•Tertiary Family Support services
•Targeted Family Support services
•Secondary Family Support Services.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations lead the design and delivery of these services to ensure support and responses are culturally safe and responsive, reflect community and family strengths, local needs and aspirations, leadership and cultural knowledge.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Wellbeing Services workers collaborate with a wide range of culturally appropriate universal, secondary and specialist services, Family Participation Program services, placement services, and with each individual family, to plan and provide a tailored, holistic and coordinated response to their specific needs. This includes working with families with diverse needs — from prevention and early intervention support to help families at the earliest possible opportunity to prevent concerns and worries from escalating, through to intensive support for families already in contact with the child protection system.
