This report presents research into funding model options for Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) delivering child and family support services. The report identifies core principles to guide the design of a funding model that is responsive to the sector and makes implementation recommendations.

This report outlines how the Thriving Kids initiative can make the most difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. For Thriving Kids to succeed, it must be designed and delivered in genuine partnership with Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations.

Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) provide holistic, culturally responsive care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families in New South Wales and yet are under-resourced and excluded from decision making. This report calls for reforms to strengthen the role of ACCOs in the child protection system.

This report synthesises the findings from a national knowledge series examining First Nations climate leadership with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations across Australia. It draws on participant contributions from across Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, spanning remote, rural and regional contexts. The report's recommendations address four interdependent requirements.

The strategy focuses on driving the shift towards earlier supports and the transition towards the Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisation (ACCO) sector. The strategy shows how all governments will prioritise funding to child and family services. The goal is to support all families to provide safe and caring homes for their children.
