The project explored good practice in working with Aboriginal women and children. Discussion: :This article reports on a good practice project undertaken by Nunga Mi: Minar, an Aboriginal specific family violence service, and Southern Domestic Violence Service, a mainstream service. The services engaged two workers to look at good practice in the area of working with Aboriginal women and children through a literature review, community consultation and a stakeholders’ forum. They found that good practice requires strong community involvement and support, new ways of understanding how to assist women to keep themselves and their children safe and cultural safety for Aboriginal workers in non-Aboriginal organisations. Both services benefited from working together on the project.
