Connected Beginnings helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children prepare for school. The program contributes to objectives under Closing the Gap.
By providing greater access to these services, we help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to be healthy, safe and ready to thrive at school.
Through the program we:
-provide outreach so more Indigenous families get involved in early childhood services
-bring early childhood and health services together to make them easier to access
-improve sharing of information so families only have to tell their story once.
This program provides links between services to ensure long term system change for families.
