10 Year Generational Strategy for Children and Young People

The development of a 10-Year Generational Strategy for Children and Families in the Northern Territory (Generational Strategy) fulfils a recommendation by the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children.

The Generational Strategy sets out a shared vision and policy framework to improve services for the wellbeing and safety of all children, young people and families in the Northern Territory. The framework describes strengthened collaboration and coordination between local communities, service providers and governments.

The Children and Families Tripartite Forum is finalising the first Action Plan to implement the 10 Year Generational Strategy for Children and Families. The first action plan will be released in the coming weeks.

The 10 Year Generational Strategy is complemented by the Australian Government and Northern Territory Government Coordinated Investment Framework. The framework is an agreement between the Northern Territory and Commonwealth Governments and outlines their commitment to coordinate the planning, funding and delivery of services aimed at improving outcomes for children in the Northern Territory.
