We work with Aboriginal children's services in South Australia. Together, we want to see Aboriginal children grow strong and healthy in their families, their communities and their culture. We work with Directors, staff, management committee members, Community Council members, parents and Community representatives.

Support may be provided directly through our agency or accessed from other organisations or individuals.
We cover:

• Running a quality program for children and planning to meet needs of children, families and communities
• Managing staff, finances, OHS&W, resources and administration
• Supporting management committees to practice good governance
• General operational support
• Referrals; building networks and links

Aboriginal Services Meetings

Three times each year we hold 2-day meetings for Directors, Coordinators, Management Committee Members and staff of Aboriginal Child Care, Out of School Hours Care and Cr�che Services. These meetings usually include guest speaker/s, training / professional development sessions, displays of resources and time to network and share ideas, concerns and experiences. At each meeting decisions about future meeting dates, speakers and training sessions can be made together as a group. Aboriginal Services Meetings are interesting, informative and fun.

Training

We can provide training on most aspects of running a child care service and also support services to access culturally aware training from other agencies and organisations.
