Project BIRD (Believe, Inquire, Respond to Disclosures) is part of the First National Action Plan under the National Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Child Sexual Abuse and aims to improve the cultural safety and responsiveness of the primary healthcare system to drive improved support and referral outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victim-survivors of child sexual abuse. BIRD is an initiative of SNAICC in partnership with Yamurrah who worked on a National codesign process and research report.
For this phase of BIRD, our Project Team have also been busy collaborating with ACCOs (within each region identified by the NIAA) to partner with and co-facilitate delivery of this training. We are excited to announce that the following ACCOs have confirmed partnership with our team for delivery of BIRD in 2026:
- Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC) – Hobart
- Sisters in Spirit Aboriginal Organisation – Canberra
- Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency (VACCA) – Melbourne
- Queensland Indigenous Family Violence Legal Service (QIFVLS) – Cairns
Project BIRD will be delivered over 5 days across 5 locations identified by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA):
- Hobart: February 16-20
