Welcome to Alternate Care Indigenous

Alternate Care is committed to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to keep Indigenous children/young people within their own families and communities wherever possible.

Alternate Care is committed to respecting, protecting and promoting human rights.  Under the Human Rights Act 2019, Alternate Care has an obligation to act in a way that is compatible with human rights and when making a decision, to give proper consideration to human rights.

When Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children/young people need to live away from home we are committed to ensuring that their cultural identity and relationship with their families and communities is maintained... find out about our cultural linkages program
