In this episode of Kids, Culture, Community – SNAICC Yarns, Nadia Currie (Acting Director, Sector Engagement & Innovation) and Sid Williams (Acting Manager, ACCO Transformation) sit down for a yarn about ACCO transformation, diving into what it really means, and what it looks like in practice.
Through this yarn, Nadia and Sid unpack the shift towards Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations leading the design and delivery of services, and why this approach is so important for children, families and communities. It’s a conversation that moves beyond policy language and into lived experience, centring community, connection to Country and the value of working in genuine partnership.
Together, they reflect on what’s been learned so far, the challenges that still exist, and the importance of continuing to listen, adapt and walk alongside community in this work. Because ACCO transformation isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating the right conditions for communities to lead.
At its heart, this episode is a reminder that we already know what works. The focus now is on backing that knowledge with trust, resources and long-term commitment.
