For Aboriginal families, culture and the integrity of culture is crucial for the health and development of their children. Aboriginal culture is inherently inter-relational and inter-dependent and views the person as living and being in a relationship with the family, the community, the tribe, the land and spiritual beings, of the lores and dreaming. It’s important that interventions respect the strong lineal connection and that case workers see child and family needs holistically.
