Breaking the cycle of disadvantage, trauma and developmental delay.
Many vulnerable families are living with uncertainty and emotional risk as they feel exposed to child protection interventions due to poverty, domestic and family violence, poor health, housing stress, homelessness and in many cases long-term unemployment.

We can break the cycle with integrated investment and commitment across Child Safety, Housing, Health, Education and Employment in a roll out of Child and Family Hubs in Queensland using a Two-Generation approach.
