A journey of co-development: the Boori Milumba model

A collaborative journey to co-develop an intensive Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) model for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children

This report details how four project partners – Cullunghutti Aboriginal Child and Family Centre, SNAICC – National Voice for our Children, Parkville Institute and Social Ventures Australia – collaborated to co-develop the Boori Milumba model.

This document draws on the professional and lived experience of project partners, and we extend our gratitude to all individuals and groups involved. We would like to specifically recognise and acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people whose invaluable contributions have shaped this resource. In particular, the cultural authority of SNAICC, the national peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and the remarkable leadership of Cullunghutti Child and Family Centre Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), service staff and families whose expertise, insights and efforts have played a pivotal role in this project.
