**1. Introduction
**FPRR Aboriginal Community**
**Connector
Last Updated: 5.01.

The Victorian Family Preservation and Reunification Response (FPRR) has been
funded by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing and is an evidenced
based response service working collaboratively with children and families. Its aim is
to provide a rapid, intensive, and sustained intervention targeted at preventing
children entering or re-entering the care system.

In partnership with Ramahyuck Wanjana Lidj, QEC is delivering the Community
Connector program to Aboriginal families receiving a FPRR program. The QEC
Community Connector supports the delivery of the Family Preservation and
Reunification (FPRR) program by enhancing the service model through proactively
linking Aboriginal families into their local network of universal, community and
informal supports while they are engaged in, and before they exit the FPRR
Response Program.

The QEC Community Connector will work in a multi-disciplinary team alongside
FPPR Practitioners to support families with children aged (0-5yrs) to identify and
create opportunities to promote and maintain cultural and community connections
for Aboriginal Children and their families.

The Community Connector will develop a strong knowledge of the services
available across Inner Gippsland and work to establish strong referral pathways.

Bringing an Early Childhood focus, The QEC Community Connector will
additionally support Ramahyuck Wanjana Lidj Practioners to enhance practitioner
knowledge and skills in assessing, planning, and responding to Early Childhood
Developmental needs through education including secondary consultations, and
targeted professional education.
