In times of crises, partnerships between classic community organisations, health services, as well as emergency response agencies, are paramount for child and family support. Early childhood service providers tend to collaborate with agencies for child protection, family violence services, mental health, and housing support so that families are facilitated in receiving appropriate assistance at the right time (Australian Institute of Family Studies, 2020). Rebuilding initiatives will be arranged by local councils and disaster recovery agencies that enable families to reconnect and access resources.
Culturally privileged services become extremely important when serving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, being necessary when land, culture, and community act in the healing and resilience (Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care, 2019).
