It shows positive trends over time in the workforce’s responses around First Nations practices, including increasing understanding and application of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle, positive attitudes towards Delegated Authority, and improved cultural appropriateness within youth mental health services. Positive changes were observed over time in the workforce’s agreement that children and young people are listened to and valued, with many workers agreeing they work in a Child Safe Organisation.
