The Aims of SCfC

The SCfC program is guided by a clear set of aims that provide a consistent foundation across all SCfC communities, while allowing flexibility in how they are achieved locally.

SCfC seeks to:

• Increase support for the nurturing of young children
• Improve school readiness of young children
• Increase support for children and young people to attend school and gain an education
• Increase opportunities for children, young people and families to participate in cultural events
• Improve family and community safety
• Build community capacity to lead, plan and prioritise services that children, youth and families need
• Build the capacity of Aboriginal organisations to deliver these services and increase local employment opportunities
