Parenting in the Early Years

Effectiveness of Parenting Support Programs for Indigenous Families

By: Robyn Mildon,Australian Institute of Health and Welfare

Parents play a critical role in their children's development and learning. This resource sheet examines what we know about programs for Australian Indigenous families that effectively support parenting in the early years. It reviews parenting and home-visiting programs in general, and then focuses on the evidence for programs aimed at Indigenous families. It outlines what works, what doesn't, and what further research is needed. This resource sheet also discusses the promising practices and recommendations of the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care.

This report provides updated data on how Australia's children are faring. Statistics are presented against key national indicators of child health, development and wellbeing, including the Children's Headline Indicators. Topics include mortality, disability, breastfeeding, dental health, physical activity, nutrition, early childhood education, transition to school, literacy and numeracy, social and emotional development, teenage births, birth weight, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, family functioning, family economic situation, parental health, non-parental care, neighbourhood safety, social capital, injuries, bullying, child abuse, violence, crime, homelessness, immunisation and screening, child care, and child protection. Though Australian children are doing well in some areas, there is still room for improvement, especially for children from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds or from socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.

National Framework for Protecting Australia's Children 2009-2020 : an Initiative of the Council of Australian Governments

By: Australian Government - Department of Social Services

The National Framework for Protecting Australia's Children is an integrated, national plan for addressing child abuse in Australia. It consists of high-level outcomes and strategies aimed at achieving a substantial and sustained reduction in child abuse and neglect over time. This document outlines the principles, supporting outcomes, measures and indicators of change, targets, and planned implementation of the Framework, which were endorsed by all state and territory governments, as well as the federal government, on 30th April 2009. The six supporting outcomes are Children live in safe and supportive families and communities; Children and families access adequate support to promote safety and intervene early; Risk factors for child abuse and neglect are addressed; Children who have been abused or neglected receive the support and care they need for their safety and wellbeing; Indigenous children are supported and safe in their families and communities; Child sexual abuse and exploitation is prevented and survivors receive adequate support. The document also notes current initiatives and reforms in each of the Australian jurisdictions.

Insulin pump use in Australia

By: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare

Insulin pump use in Australia explores the number, characteristics and experiences of insulin pump users, using information from the National Diabetes Services Scheme and the first national survey of insulin pump users, conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. In 2011, the proportion of Australians with Type 1 diabetes using an insulin pump was approximately 10%, representing an increase over previous years. Pump use was more common among females and people under 25 years, and for most pump users the benefits of pump use outweighed the problems.
