Yaitya Tirramangkotti is specifically dedicated to providing advice and assistance in any cases involving the abuse of Aboriginal children.
Staffed by Aboriginal people, Yaitya Tirramangkotti makes sure that everything is done to involve Aboriginal families and help them care for their children in ways that are culturally appropriate. This involves taking into account cultural factors, local knowledge of families, Aboriginal supports and services, and knowledge supplied by Principal Aboriginal Consultants.
When children must be found alternative care, if an Aboriginal child cannot be placed with members of their extended family, specialised agencies provide alternative care services for Aboriginal children and young people.
If child abuse or neglect of an Aboriginal child occurs, the Yaitya team are there to offer support and advice.
The service runs 24 hours a day in conjunction with the Crisis Response Unit.
