Supporting Aboriginal children

The department has partnered with the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care (SNAICC) to develop a range of resources for services that provide early childhood education and care to Aboriginal children.

As Aboriginal people are the Traditional Custodians of NSW, we refer to Aboriginal people. The department’s Aboriginal programs and services are available, without question, to Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Overview

These resources review and consider the National Quality Framework (NQF) in a way that's more relevant to services which provide:

  • early childhood education and care (ECEC) to Aboriginal children

  • support to these children’s families and communities

  • give ongoing guidance and reference for services implementing the NQF into daily practice

  • are available to all service providers and ECEC staff.
