Evidence Review. Big news for Aboriginal-led Early Support Programs, children, families and youth. A big thanks to all the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations who attended today's forum presentation. Watch it on youtube, link below.

Aboriginal-led Early Support Programs Evidence Review

Last year we 'Gamarada Universal Indigenous Resources Pty Ltd' in conjunction with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice conducted an evidence review on Aboriginal-led early support programs and services to improve the wellbeing of Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities.

The review involved an electronic database search, a grey literature search and community outreach to elicit other sources of evidence regarding effective community services and programs for Aboriginal families.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure that the evidence related to Aboriginal designed and delivered early support programs only.

The Evidence Portal Technical Specifications were not used in conducting this evidence review. This allowed the review to identify a broad range of evidence and specifically culturally-appraised evidence (evidence validated through a First Nations value lens) which may not be captured by standard evidence reviews using the hierarchy of evidence.

The combined search strategies identified 79 evidence sources after inclusion and exclusion criteria had been applied.

The Aboriginal research team from Gamarada then conducted a cultural appraisal of each individual piece of evidence using an Aboriginal Cultural Lens Matrix.

Evidence rated highly through the cultural lens appraisal was analysed to identify eight common effective features of Aboriginal-led early support programs:
Community designed or co-designed;
Community-led;
Cultural safety;
Strengths-based, culture-affirming approaches;
Trauma-informed and healing-focused;
Holistic, wraparound components;
Collaboration and coordination with mainstream services; and
Flexible delivery.

Limitations - The following limitations in the review should be noted:
Only programs and practices supported by some kind of documentation were included. Therefore, the review does not include evidence for programs lacking documentation. The review did not conduct a critical appraisal of the evidence about outcomes, and therefore further investigation is required to assess the strength of the evidence regarding the effectiveness of the programs.

25 April 2024 marks the 18th Coloured Digger ANZAC Day Event and Commemorative Ceremony.

The annual event is an integral part of truth-telling as part of National Reconciliation, commemorating the unacknowledged history of the First Peoples of Australia and New Zealand who served to protect our country in armed conflicts overseas.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men were legally exempt from military service, however, this didn’t stop hundreds from volunteering to serve their country. Over 1,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples served in World War 1 and around 70 fought at Gallipoli.

An estimated 3,000 Aboriginal and 850 Torres Strait Islander peoples served in World War 2. When they returned home, they were invisible to the state and watched on as their non-Aboriginal counterparts were celebrated and compensated with land and benefits.

Many Aboriginal war veterans sustained deep phycological injuries as a result of the state not recognising their sacrifice, they felt hopelessness and despair knowing that their stories would never be heard. This is why the Coloured Digger ANZAC Day Event and Commemorative Ceremony exists. To honor their sacrifice and to tell their stories.

Ken Zulumovski Hon DHSc, was handed down the responsibility under cultural protocol in 2022 and this is his third year as Event Director “These are the tough facts that we will tell through the project. We will tell them so that this does not happen again, to any marginalised groups, and so that the nation, all of us, can properly heal and make our bonds stronger, giving fuller meaning to the ANZAC spirit”.

This year, the event will feature a digital portraiture and 10th anniversary photographic exhibition 'Serving Country' by Belinda Mason OAM, starting at 10am, at the Redfern Community Centre.

The Coloured Digger ANZAC Day Event and Commemorative Ceremony will begin with a Welcome to Country at 1pm and then the march to Redfern Park Cenotaph at 2pm. At the Redfern Park, participants can enjoy cultural events and performances, featuring, John Paul Young, The Glen Centre Dancers, Haka for Life, Candles and Craft by Dhinawan, stalls by event sponsors and so much more, as well as food stalls serving bush tucker delicacies.

This is a FREE public event and everyone is welcome.
