The 2024-25 VACCA Annual Report theme shares VACCA’s reform journey while challenging existing narratives around Aboriginal child and family welfare.
VACCA’s strength lies in our connection to the communities we work alongside. Our work is guided by Aboriginal community throughout Victoria, their voices informing our practice. Through strengths-based solutions that centre Aboriginal voices, VACCA’s 48 years of knowledge and experience sits at the heart of our innovative service delivery.
Our Aboriginal-led services support children and families to remain connected to their Country, cultural practice and to each other. We empower families to act with self-determination, and protect the physical and spiritual wellbeing of children and young people.
Changing the Narrative is recognition of VACCA’s impact on the Aboriginal child and family services sector, and of our advocacy and innovation. Through program highlights and data, we show the way forward through evidence-based reform, placing Aboriginal voices and experiences at the fore.
