Why First 1000 Days?

• Raise awareness of the importance of the first 1000 days and the impact this time has on lifelong health and wellbeing

• Improve and target services to the earliest stage of childhood and conception, and on culture-led responses to ensure the positive impact of coordinated programs, policies and interventions

• Support Indigenous business growth and meet State, Territory and Commonwealth targets for procurement

• Focus on programs and initiatives that support men and women caregivers prior to conception, during pregnancy and post-birth

• Reduce adverse stressors in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families by reforming services, practices and engagement strategies

• Develop regional collective impact and increase participation in place-based strategies that are aligned to our First Nations land and language boundaries, and by so doing implement the cultural determinants of health and wellbeing.
