What is a cultural plan?

The cultural support plan is a key part of the case planning process for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. It is a tool that can:
  1. help nurture and support children to strengthen their cultural identities and connection to what it means to be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
  2. assist with their understanding of their community networks and cultural heritage
  3. assist children to increase their knowledge and understanding of their place in their family, kinship and community structure
  4. identify the supports required for the carer, if applicable, to meet the child’s cultural needs.
