Connected Beginnings

OVAHS along with Binarri-Binyja Yarrawoo (BBY) Corporation in Kununurra have been identified as the delivery partners for the latest national site, the 50th site in Australia, for the Connected Beginnings Program. This is a jointly funded program between the federal Departments of Education and Health, scaffolding holistic supports around vulnerable families in the community, supporting them to better understand the importance of positive health outcomes and education, ensuring the kids are meeting key milestones and are on a pathway to attend school once they turn five.

The program will also have a major focus on improved collaboration, providing a more integrated workflow and referral pathways between all the different agencies already doing great work in the early childhood/ early development space here in the East Kimberley.
