Wellbeing outcomes framework

Winangali Pty Ltd was commissioned to develop the Wellbeing Outcomes Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in Queensland ((PDF, 2.3 MB)) Wellbeing Outcomes Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in Queensland ((DOCX, 5.4 MB)) and accompanying Wellbeing Outcomes Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in Queensland A3 schematic ((PDF, 179 KB)) in partnership with community.

The Wellbeing Outcomes Framework (WOF) defines wellbeing and identifies the outcomes needed to achieve wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. Optimum wellbeing means that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people can have hopes and dreams for the future and the best start in all aspects of their life.

The WOF is underpinned by the expectation that all adults have a responsibility to contribute to the wellbeing of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. It helps each level of adult influence understand what role they must play in ensuring the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people including:

• parents, family, kin and carers
• community and service providers
• government

The implementation of the WOF across Queensland Government is a key action of Breaking Cycles to guide planning and decision-making as it relates to the wellbeing outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
