Recommendations From Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations to Mainstream Inquiries on Family Violence
This article examines recommendations from Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) in submissions to Australian federal parliamentary inquiries that considered family violence. Our findings outline commonalities in what these organisations recommended under four themes, and show how these themes all centre self-determination. In so doing, we explore how ACCOs craft demands for structural change that emphasise the inseparability of F…
Pacific priorities for the prevention of violence against women and girls
box The prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the Pacific is a regional priority, but solutions must be Pacific-centred
Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification
Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the barriers to reunification of Aboriginal children, from the perspective of practitioners, nine practition…
Still Falling Short
The child protection system in colonised countries like Australia has long been a site of systemic injustice and harm for Indigenous children. In Victoria, Australia, despite multiple reports and legislative change, Aboriginal children continue to be removed into out-of-home care at alarming and increasing numbers. In this article we draw on the findings of the Yoorrook Justice Commission Report, released in 2023, to argue that Victoria’s child p…
Restoring Children From Out‐of‐Home Care
Restoring children from out‐of‐home care (OOHC) to their families is the preferred outcome for all children removed by child protection services, yet little is known about how restoration processes are experienced by families and services supporting them. This paper provides important insights about Aboriginal child restoration from 40 practitioners and stakeholders at a community forum led by Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in regi…
Indigenous women and intimate partner homicide in Australia
In Australia, Indigenous women experience disproportionate levels of violence compared to others in our society. Recent, horrific examples of Indigenous women's deaths have come to light through coronial courts' public inquests. This article examined 151 Australian coronial court investigations and inquests over a 20-year period (2000-2020), analysing them thematically. The analysis highlighted the vulnerability of Indigenous women to intimate pa…
Media constructions of Indigenous women in sexual assault cases
In 2011, in Australia and Canada, two Aboriginal women – Lynette Daley and Cindy Gladue – died in suspicious circumstances suggestive of sexual homicide. At the time of their deaths, little media attention was given to their cases. However, several years later, as their cases progressed through the criminal justice system, the media would become intensely interested and numerous reports were subsequently published. These news stories, however, de…
Roadmap to recovery
In April 2020 a Group of Eight Taskforce was convened, consisting of over 100 researchers, to provide independent, research‐based recommendations to the Commonwealth Government on a “Roadmap to Recovery” from COVID‐19. The report covered issues ranging from pandemic control and relaxation of social distancing measures, to well‐being and special considerations for vulnerable populations. Our work focused on the critical needs of Aboriginal and Tor…
Indigenous Children’s ‘Best Interests’ at the Crossroads
This article reviews the use of the term ‘best interests’ as it is commonly used in Australian child protection systems and its application in Indigenous contexts. In 2010–11 there were some 12,358 Indigenous children in out-of-home care in Australia, representing 32.85% of the total number of Australian children in care. In this review, I carefully consider, in the context of a rights discourse, the many influences, historical and present day, I…
Indigenous family violence and sexual abuse
Australian Indigenous experiences of family and sexual violence have received much media and government attention since 2006. Three state government reports into the problem have been published in this time. These reports highlighted the disproportionate incidence of sexual assault and family violence within Indigenous communities and the many complexities associated with such experiences. They also illustrated that Indigenous communities are act…
