Help shape future of child support services

November 24, 2025

SNAICC – National Voice for our Children is undertaking a new research project to develop fit-for-purpose funding model options for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations delivering child and family support services.

The organisation is inviting ACCOs to share your insights and experiences. Your feedback will play an important role in shaping a stronger, more sustainable funding model for ACCOs delivering child and family support services and will directly inform the project’s recommendations to government.

Complete the online survey: ACCO Funding Survey

This survey has been designed for ACCOs working with children and families; if your organisation is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led, we encourage you to complete the survey and share your insights. Your contributions will help ensure the final recommendations reflect the real needs, strengths and challenges experienced by ACCOs providing culturally strong, community-led support to our children and families.

  • All organisations that complete the survey will go into the draw to win one of three $200 Deadly Ed vouchers.

About the project

This project is being delivered through the Early Childhood Care and Development Policy Partnership and builds on SNAICC’s previous research into funding models for community-controlled integrated early years services. You can find more details here.
