Aboriginal Best Start Evaluation

Client: Victorian Department of Education. With Karen Milward Consulting Services. Current project.

Karabena Consulting and Karen Milward Consulting Services are delivering a First Peoples-led evaluation of Aboriginal Best Start across six Victorian sites. Aboriginal Best Start supports Aboriginal children and families in the early years, and its strength lies in community partnerships and local cultural leadership. We draw on the knowledge of the people who lead and deliver it to show what is working, why it matters, and how the program can grow from the strengths already present in each community.
