Community Consultation & Service Feedback About Our Cultural and Family Connection Service

  • "In the 14 years I’ve been with Child Safety I honestly can say what you have done and your program has been the absolute best program I’ve watched our kids do. From the way you operate to the importance of what your program provides im dead serious when I say I’ve never seen a better program than what you have. "
  • "The statutory service and even the Indigenous services don't specifically focus on culture & connections. Golalbi-gan would be more objective and family/child focused. The interactions would be more positive and engaging"
  • "Golalbi-gan would be more culturally appropriate and families and children are more likely to engage, which would lead to positive outcomes."
  • "This could be the first stepping stone of breaking that shame barrier down. This can make things much easier all round."
  • "I feel a lot of these factors/considerations/foundations become lost when a statutory service is involved. It is the key for pathing the way forward."
  • "We don't have a service like this and it would be a benefit to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community."
  • "The gap is we don't have enough time in our roles because our job descriptions are so broad that we aren't able to focus solely on cultural and family connections."
  • As Forensic Liaison Officer I am currently playing a small role in coordinating YPs mental health court prep.In doing this, I have just come across your work on a document titled My Cultural and Family Connection Booklet.
    Tyrelle, this is the most beautiful and poignant work I have seen in a long time. So compassionately written, rich in its history and photos, I was just really struck by how powerful this booklet is for YP. I showed it to my colleague who also found it to be a profoundly beautiful piece of work.Thank you for doing such wonderful work for this young man and his family.

  • "As the Child Safety Officer for this young person, I express my great gratitude for the work you have done. I have only been working in this field for a year, but for the first time I see such a beautiful result and I am very pleasantly surprised. I'm sure the young person will appreciate it too and her family pictures add to its value".
