The first 5 years of a child's life is so important for their development. These are the years where growing up in a supportive and engaging environment can help set the trajectory of their life. Central Australian Aboriginal Congress shows us how the Connected Beginnings program operates in their community of Mpwarntwe/Alice Springs. Congress provides wrap-around and culturally safe supports for Aboriginal children and their families so that they are equipped with the right tools to thrive in their early childhood education and care journeys.

The Elder Care Support Program is addressing what has been missing in the aged care system for decades: simpler, culturally safe, and community-led process for Elders and older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to navigate the aged care system and access the aged care services they are entitled to. Vienna Richards, former Elder Care Support Workforce Training Coordinator at AMSANT, says even simple home modifications can go a long way, and the program is “potentially very life saving for Elders.” To learn more, go here: https://lnkd.in/g38e6QN9 care-support-program #ElderCareSupport #ECS #AgedCare #OurHealthInOurHands Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Services AH&MRC of NSW Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) AHCWA (Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia) Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia AMSANT Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre
