Evidence Review. Big news for Aboriginal-led Early Support Programs, children, families and youth. Aboriginal-led Early Support Programs Evidence Review In 2023 Gamarada Universal Indigenous Resources Pty Ltd in conjunction with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice conducted an evidence review on Aboriginal-led early support programs and services to improve the wellbeing of Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities. The review involved an electronic database search, a grey literature search and community outreach to elicit other sources of evidence regarding effective community services and programs for Aboriginal families. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure that the evidence related to Aboriginal designed and delivered early support programs only. The Evidence Portal Technical Specifications were not used in conducting this evidence review. This allowed the review to identify a broad range of evidence and specifically culturally-appraised evidence (evidence validated through a First Nations value lens) which may not be captured by standard evidence reviews using the hierarchy of evidence. The combined search strategies identified 79 evidence sources after inclusion and exclusion criteria had been applied. The Aboriginal research team from Gamarada then conducted a cultural appraisal of each individual piece of evidence using an Aboriginal Cultural Lens Matrix. Evidence rated highly through the cultural lens appraisal was analysed to identify eight common effective features of Aboriginal-led early support programs: Community designed or co-designed; Community-led; Cultural safety; Strengths-based, culture-affirming approaches; Trauma-informed and healing-focused; Holistic, wraparound components; Collaboration and coordination with mainstream services; and Flexible delivery. For more information about the evidence review, see the Evidence to Action Note (PDF, 203.1 KB) and the Full Report (PDF, 1.7 MB) here. https://lnkd.in/gXRt4XrQ Limitations The following limitations in the review should be noted: Only programs and practices supported by some kind of documentation were included. Therefore, the review does not include evidence for programs lacking documentation. The review did not conduct a critical appraisal of the evidence about outcomes, and therefore further investigation is required to assess the strength of the evidence regarding the effectiveness of the programs.

The Evidence to Action Note and Full Report are available on the DCJ Evidence Portal. This review provides an independent, culturally appraised body of evidence available for Aboriginal-led and designed early support programs that can be applied to service planning and design. This forum was originally planned for 26 February 2024 but was postponed at late notice due to the arrival of Ken’s baby son on the same day. Ken Zulumovski (Hon DHSc, BHlthSc, DipACSHP) is the Managing Director of Gamarada Universal Indigenous Resources Pty Ltd, a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated consulting firm, that was commissioned by NSW Department of Communities and Justice to undertake the review.

The forum is accessible via the following link: https://lnkd.in/gc_E9B3 We strongly encourage you to participate in the forum. If however you are unable to attend and would like further information about the review, please contact us at the Evidence Portal or TEI mailboxes (evidenceportal@dcj.nsw.gov.au or tei@dcj.nsw.gov.au)'
