What is Family Matters? OUR VISION: All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people grow up safely in their home, receive a good education, and grow up healthy and proud of who they are

OUR GOAL: To eliminate the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care within a generation.

Our Strengths The strengths to redress child wellbeing and safety concerns lie within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Strengths Based Early Intervention Addressing over-representation requires strengths-based approaches that enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to lead redress of the issues impacting their children, and to provide love and care for their children in their own cultural ways. Such approaches would reflect an holistic application of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle.

Strengths Based Early Intervention Addressing over-representation requires an investment, by government, led and delivered by community, in interventions that support, heal and strengthen families early in the life cycle and as early as possible when issues that impact family functioning emerge.
