This Report presents the findings from the Brighter Futures Aboriginal Families Study (AFS), a two-year study funded by Community Services, NSW Department of Family and Community Services. The aim of this study was to find out what does, and what does not work for Aboriginal children and their families in the Brighter Futures early intervention program. The program has undergone some change from January 2012 but this report concerns the period prior between September 2009 and September 2011, during which Brighter Futures was delivered by both Community Services and non-government Lead Agencies. The Brighter Futures program delivers targeted early intervention services to families with children aged under nine years. The program offers three core services to families: quality children's services, parenting programs and structured home visiting, including case management. (author abstract)
