Listening and learning from First Nations communities

A consultation led by The Kids Research Institute Australia and funded by the NDIA has revealed what matters most to First Nations families when it comes to early childhood developmental support.

Over 12 months, 71 consultations were held across Western Australia - from metro to remote regions - hearing directly from First Nations people and service providers. The findings underscored a clear call for culturally safe, accessible information and early support programs, particularly in areas with limited services.

The Inklings Program welcomes all families, and recommendations are being incorporated through ongoing partnerships with First Nations peoples and organisations—with cultural safety at the core.
