2 | Post Conference Report 2018
BackgroundQATSICPP hosted its Members’ Conference at the Pullman International Hotel, Cairns from 6-8 March 2018.
The conference, with much success, sought to showcase the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community
Controlled Child Protection Sector (Sector), based on previous feedback from the QATSICPP Members’ Conference
in September 2016.
RationaleBased on feedback from the QATSICPP Members’ Conference in September 2016, the 2018 QATSICPP Members’
Conference showcased the Sector’s capacity in demonstrating practice excellence and good governance from
a service point-of-view. Additionally, QATSICPP provided a platform for external providers to present on topics
that are pivotal in the policy reform agenda stemming from the Carmody Report of June 2013. The external
presentations were conducted by Professor Roianne West (Post Graduate Certificate) and Professor Clare Tilbury
(Centre of Excellence). Further to this, the QATSICPP Aboriginal Kinship Position Paper, QATSICPP Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Definition and Standards were [both] launched on Wednesday 7
March 2018, with the inclusion of the QLD Family Matters update provided.
Alignment to QATSICPP Strategic PrioritiesThe QATSICPP Members’ Conference 2018 aligned with QATSICPP’s four (4) strategic priorities,
1. Sector and Practice Excellence;
2. Partnerships and Accountability;
3. Voice and Representation; and
4. Cultural Leadership and Maintaining Independence as an Advocacy Body.
In achieving Sector and Practice Excellence, the showcasing of the Sector’s
achievements, provided a platform for discussion and awareness of Sector
successes and limitations. This process also demonstrated the capacity,
capability and strength of the Sector.

Excellence
Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Limited | 3
The Members’ Conference demonstrated partnerships between the Sector and
furthermore, with QATSICPP. Accountability was shown during the Conference
with QATSICPP being in a position to launch policy projects and engage
in detailed discussion about the work QATSICPP has been doing in order to
represent the Sector.
The Sector was able to demonstrate best practice for their communities,
families and children. QATSICPP is able to use this information to advocate more
effectively and provide voice and representation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander children, young people and families.
The Sector’s ability to provide presentations that demonstrate best practice
and excellence supports cultural leadership. Further, QATSICPP was able
to demonstrate this in presentations and strengthening the support to be
recognised as an independent advocacy body.
Members’ Conference ParticipantsThe QATSICPP Members’ Conference had 115 registered participants across the three (3) days, with six (6) day
delegates – as demonstrated below.

QATSICPP Conference EvaluationTo ensure quality and representation, QATSICPP developed the post conference survey via SurveyMonkey. The QATSICPP Member Engagement and Participation Coordinator distributed the survey to all Member Organisations who participated in the Members’ Conference with a two (2) week deadline.
Nine (9) questions were posed to Member Organisations:
1. Which presentations do you think demonstrated sector and practice excellence and inspired you to think about a new narrative for your children, young people and families?
2. Based on the member presentations, do you believe that our sector is best placed to lead the changes required in practice, policy and legislation to reduce the disproportionate representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in OOHC in Queensland?
3. What are our biggest barriers to transformational change?
4. When the conference wrapped up, did you leave feeling?
5. Do you have any comments to make about the Aboriginal Kinship Care Position Paper and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Child Protection Sector Definition and Standards document?
6. How interested are you in undertaking the Graduate Certificate in Human Services presented by Griffith University?
7. What would you like to see in the next Members’ Conference program?
8. How can we improve on the next Members’ Conference?
9. Overall, how would you rate the conference?
Fifty (50) people participated in the online survey, which equates to 58% of QATSICPP Member Organisations participation at the Members’ Conference.
Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Limited | 9
Question1:Whichpresentationsdoyouthinkdemonstratedsectorandpracticeexcellenceandinspiredyoutothinkaboutanewnarrativeforyourchildren,youngpeopleandfamilies?
Question 1 was based on the Member Organisation presentations at the Members’ Conference (refer to
Attachment A: QATSICPP Members’ Conference Handbook).
Figure5:Question1-QuantitativeResponses
The Townsville Aboriginal and Islander Health Service’ (TAIHS) presentation scored the highest percentage for
their presentation, ‘Making tracks in our Community – In step with culture, knowledge and support’, with 26
nominations our of 50.
TAIHS was followed by The Murri School’s presentation ‘The Murri School and Family Wellbeing’ (46%) and
ATSICHS Brisbane’s ‘ATSICHS Brisbane’ with 44%.
Marabisda Inc.’s presentation ‘Mackay’s Marabisda Inc.’ received 20% with the lowest rating, however this
still received an overall tally of ten (10) votes, suggesting a high interest rate out of the overall 50 survey
responses.

Question2:Basedonthememberpresentations,doyoubelievethatoursectorisbestplacedtoleadthechangesrequiredinpractice,policyandlegislationto reduce thedisproportionate representationofAboriginalandTorresStraitIslanderchildreninOOHCinQueensland?
Member Organisation feedback noted the following:
Figure6:Question2-QualitativeResponses
“Yes our sector certainly is best placed to lead the changes”
“Although perhaps more time needs to be given to thinking and working strategically”
“On the whole, yes but I think some services still need more guidance for outside the box thinking”
“The areas are within our community. It is important to recognise that we have an extensive family network and there has to be someone [sic] is this family network that qualifies to care for the children. This is more about influencing the Department to improve the practices of the assessment and intake team to ensure our children are kept within our communities. Improve the decision biases of the assessment staff!!!”
“Passionate and driven individuals”
“Due to the work we are doing in the community, I would feel the Peak body should be able to manage a forum to reflect on decisions that were raised during the conference”
The feedback received provided an insight for QATSICPP to initiate forums in partnership with other Peak
bodies in Queensland, to provide information education and awareness of the current policy reforms that
are being implemented. The education and awareness information can also be disseminated via QATSICPP’s
quarterly newsletter and further its website platform.
Feedback suggests that the Sector is confident in demonstrating best practice and excellence, which QATSCIPP
acknowledges and will continue to support and represent accordingly.

Question3:Whatareourbiggestbarrierstotransformationalchange?
QATSICPP sought to investigate the barriers for the Sector in achieving transformational change. This will allow
QATSICPP to compare its current workplans in order to determine whether QATSICPP is on the right track. This
feedback also provides direction for QATSICPP to determine an updated workplan in order to meet the Sector
service needs and demands.
The four (4) areas for consideration in the barriers to transformational change are:
1. Skills to get the job done well? (e.g. trauma informed care, case management, conflict resolution etc.)
2. Resources to enable us to meet the demand and retain quality
3. The government and non-Indigenous organisations hindering the process for Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people to achieve self determination
4. Any other barriers, please specify.
Figure7:Question3–QuantitativeResponses
From the 50 responses, 66% noted that government and non-Indigenous hindering the achievement of self-
determination was the biggest barrier in transformational change.

12 | Post Conference Report 2018
Notably, the seven (7) responses who stated other provided qualitative responses, which are provided below:
Figure8:Question3-QualitativeResponses
“Strengthening networks with Justice Groups and allowing for respected Elders within the region to participate in Child protection court processes, as they do with the criminal sector. We did have our own law before the English arrived, that needs to be acknowledged and married in to (sic) court processes”.
“Skilled and qualified aboriginal [sic] workforce”.
“Non-Indigenous (non/Gov’t) Org’s should work shadow at least 1 Org within a 18 month duration that totals 4-8 weeks to understand strategic and operational perspectives, including cultural practices”.
“People wanting change for themselves”.
“Fear!! It is fear that prevents action and therefore the inability to progress change quicker. Community education around the legislation and language used in it - is also major barrier, there needs to be investment in more information being delivered to grassroots community people”.
“Allocation of legislation and policy to do best practice”.
“Regular training on new standards, policies and practices to assist in workers give quality care and assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities”.
The Sector notes that barriers stem from systems and
processes put in place by governments, that have
not utilised the expertise of the communities
and have not sought to provided regular
training to assist with workplace and practice
excellence.

Question4:Whentheconferencewrappedup,didyouleavefeeling?
It is paramount for QATSICPP to understand and recognise the importance of the Sector and their feedback
regarding thoughts, perceptions and feelings in relation to the conference. As the conference is the QATSICPP
Members’ Conference, it is imperative for the Sector to collectively own, feel safe, demonstrate leadership
and be empowered by the conference to ensure representation and demonstration of Sector best practice and
excellence is exhibited for their communities, children and families.
The four (4) areas for consideration in determining Sector feelings of the conference are:
1. Confident that our sector is addressing the needs of our children, young people and families.
2. Empowered to try different approaches/initiatives in your community.
3. That you are part of a strong and empowered sector.
4. Other (please specify).
Figure9:Question4-QuantitativeResponses
The Sector had a strong representation of 70% of responses that conference participants were empowered
to try different approaches/initiatives in their communities, which suggests innovation was a constant during
Sector presentations and the conference as a whole.
Six (6) respondents provided qualitative feedback.

“I can see all ATSI people were passionate in their roles. To really look at how well we are doing it won’t come from us. Certainly I know through my own dealings with these services there is alot of concerns on their own accountability. I work for Benevolent Society we were lucky to have our Executive Director who stayed with us all week in learning and understanding what we are doing. He also supported us in our roles and was concerned with how we are managing our identified roles within the service. We are frontline workers and this service invested into us attending but that don’t mean we have no problems in communicating so I was very pleased that the communication between mainstream orgs, the dept are still having communication problems in understanding our people and this is also within.”
The qualitative responses highlighted the need for more education and awareness around achieving self-
determination and positioning the Sector as the experts in the field, community and their lives to achieve
better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, families and communities.

Question5:DoyouhaveanycommentstomakeabouttheAboriginalKinshipCarePositionPaperandtheAboriginalandTorresStrait IslanderCommunityControlledChildProtectionSectorDefinitionandStandardsdocument?
Both the QATSICPP Aboriginal Kinship Care Position Paper and the QATSICPP Queensland Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Community Controlled Child Protection Sector Definition and Standards were launched on
Wednesday 7 March 2018 by QATSICPP’s Senior Practice Leader and Operations Manager before the Sector. The
following table illustrates the feedback provided by the survey respondents.
Table3:Question5-QuantitativeResponses
COMMENTS NUMBERSOFRESPONSES OVERALLPERCENTAGE
Nocomment 29 58%
Successfulcomments 19 38%
Neutral 2 4%
Total=50responses Total%=100%
Generally, where there was no comment made, it was due to not having the read the documents; thus,
not enough information to make an informed comment. The successful comments received were relative to
the work QATSICPP has been doing and providing a platform for the Sector to work towards and present to
government as a collective.
The neutral comments received are provided below.
Figure11:Question5-QualitativeResponses
“I would like to see the Torres Strait KINSHIP model being rolled out in the next few months.”
“Perhaps consider Uncle Bill’s (ATSICHS) suggestion regarding the obtaining [sic] of Legal advice and advise the Indigenous Org’s of the advice prior to providing back to the Gov’t. I think it needs to also be mindful to include HSQF to reinforce objectives and to measure outputs/outcomes.”
The neutral comments were valid and have prompted QATSICPP to engage with the Member Organisations
in the Torres Strait Island regions in order to develop a Torres Strait Kinship model. Additionally, QATSICPP will
engage with Bill Gorham from ATSICHS Brisbane to develop a plan in seeking legal advice in regards to the
HSQF.

Question6:HowinterestedareyouinundertakingtheGraduateCertificateinHumanServicespresentedbyGriffithUniversity?
Professor Roianne West and Glenn Woods presented on the Graduate Certificate in Human Services provided
by Griffith University. The Graduate Certificate would have a stand-alone course developed based on the
QATSICPP Practice Standards. Working in collaboration with QATSICPP, Professor West has been able to adapt
the standards into modules to present as core components of the Human Services curriculum.
Figure12:Question6-QuantitativeResponses
Respondents noted that time and financial obligations were key factors in responding as not interested. The
content was not an issue and further most people believed that they already performed well in the Sector and
Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) should be available in this course.
The respondents that responded with interested noted the following,
Figure13:Question6–QualitativeResponses
“My passion and drive to empower and make change in my Community.”
“Would need to research more information and discuss with university staff. Have already had a brief chat with conference attendees currently doing the course.”
“I am very keen to connect with the UNI for more information on my personal position and undertake this study.”
The interested responses were based on more information being needed, the different delivery modes for the
course and connecting with Griffith University to discuss options available to partake in studying.

Question 6 - Quantitative Responses
Question 4 Respondents
Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Limited | 17
Question 7: What would you like to see in the next Members’ Conferenceprogram?
Respondents noted that presentations should be reduced to encourage a more practical session for discussion
and networking. Accordingly, more training and hands-on practice as the Members’ Conference 2016 would
be beneficial to work through resources and products being launched. Additionally, respondents requested for
more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander guest speakers and encourage national and international keynote
speakers.
The overall consensus of the respondents was that the conference was a success and the use of an external MC
(i.e. Aboriginal comedian) was good as it allowed a break-up of the content that was being presented.
Questions8:HowcanweimproveonthenextMembers’Conference?
Respondents noted that QATSICPP should provide a report card and an update on all of the work QATSICPP
has been doing. The majority of respondents noted that the conference was great and that it would be more
beneficial to have practical workshops and smaller presentation times.
Again, using an MC/comedian to assist with the conference was successful, with respondents noting to either
use the same comedian or look at other possible Aboriginal comedians.
Respondents in Question 7 noted two (2) standout comments that would be beneficial as future improvement
– rather than what they would like to see, which QATSICPP has taken on board.
Figure14:Question7-ComparativestatementsforQuestion8
“Not have presenters swearing in front of our Elders/Christian and respected people/members in audience.”
“If allowable, possible a USB of all presenters’ PowerPoint presentations, so that conference attendees can take back to their community and share with staff the various strategies and concepts put in place.”
Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Limited | 17
18 | Post Conference Report 2018
Figure15:Question8-QualitativeResponses
“More open discussions with means to feed discussion outcomes to department heads and policy makers.”
“Unsure - both Conferences have been well done. Perhaps non-Indigenous Org’s present how they’ve adopted the Practice Standards & Supervision Models at an organisational level especially.”
“Maybe a couple of break-out sessions to workshop specific pieces of work to benefit the statewide approach.”
“Presentations targeted at different outcomes, practice examples, perhaps an interstate presentation.”
“Ensure that presenters are reminded that they are to be respectful and mindful when delivering presentations, as people can be offended when swear words are used.”
“It was well planned and the running of it was exceptionally impressive (meaning we were on time and not Murri time.”
Improvement that QATSICPP should note, is that a more mixed and collaborative approach to ensuring non-
Indigenous organisations have the ability to discuss how they have incorporated the QATSICPP resources into
their organisations. Further practical workshops should be available to permit for training for the Sector on
issues needing attention.
Presenters need to be respectful and mindful of the audience and restrict their use of offensive language. This
has been noted twice within the respondent feedback.

Child Protection.
