Exploring Delivery of Child Protection and Health Services for Aboriginal Communities in WA

This presentation discusses the exploration of child protection, health, and educational services delivered to Aboriginal communities in the Perth metropolitan and Geraldton regions. It highlights historical contexts, including policies from 1829 to 2012, alongside current Australian government policies impacting Aboriginal welfare. Through critical research and community feedback, the study identifies five major findings crucial for effective service delivery and Aboriginal self-determination. The insights aim to enhance collaboration between government entities and the Aboriginal community for improved outcomes in health and education.
