About the organisation
At VACCA we know that to make a difference in the life of a child we need to do things differently. As it is culture that defines who an Aboriginal child is, how they think, how they communicate and what they value, decisions about their future are best made by an Aboriginal person and organisation that is proud of their culture. Taking this approach supports Aboriginal children to grow up strong and resilient, with cultural identity and connection to family, kin and community. At VACCA this is what we want for our children and families.
