On 8 June 2021, we engaged Urbis in partnership with Cox Inall Ridgeway to conduct an evaluation of the AFPP over 3 years (2021–22 to 2023–24).
The AFPP is a nurse-led home visiting program designed to improve health outcomes for First Nations families by supporting women pregnant with a First Nations baby from pregnancy through until their child is 2 years old.
The report captures AFPP outcomes, the AFPP’s impact on the health and wellbeing of participating families, and identify areas for improvement. The report also presents 5 case studies which demonstrate the implementation and impacts of the AFPP across a breadth of settings, including:
- supporting family preservation and reunification during child protection involvement
- support for pregnant women in the criminal justice system.
