Melissa Doyle takes us from home to the front line, locally and abroad, in a session that explores ideas and insights, data and evidence for approaches to improving the child welfare sector and outcomes for kids. Melissa interviews:  

  • Kerry Chikarovski on the impact of domestic & family violence on children;  
  • Tamena Yarak on child protection practitioner learnings within a culturally and linguistically diverse framework; and

We hear from International keynote speaker Dr Jessica Pryce as she speaks about strengthening families by ensuring racial equity;

and we cross to South Australia to hear from Minister Rachel Sanderson on permanency updates.
