We are a not‑for‑profit organisation, and self‑managed by our Aboriginal community. About the Boori Milumba program Boori Milumba is a partnership initiative between Cullunghutti Aboriginal Child and Family Centre, SNAICC, The Parkville Institute and Social Ventures Australia (SVA) to co‑develop, trial and evaluate an evidence‑informed intensive early childhood education and care (ECEC) programme, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The development of the ECEC programme model will be a community‑led design process that will bring together community knowledge and practice, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and wisdom, and relevant insights and learnings from an intensive early childhood education and care programme that was trialled in Victoria. It will research the impact of Aboriginal‑led, high‑quality early childhood education and care to improve early childhood education for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families nationally. This is an Australian‑designed centre‑based early education and care model that supports children and families living with significant social disadvantage and family stress so that children can enter school as confident and successful learners, developmentally on par with their peers. It is a multi‑disciplinary model that offers high‑quality early education and care, infant mental health and family support, in partnership with families and local community organisations and agencies.
