The Thriving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Initiative (TATSICI) is a partnership between the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak (QATSICPP) and the Queensland Kids Partnership (QKP).

The QATSICPP vision is that ‘all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people are physically, emotionally and spiritually strong, live in safe and caring environments within their own families and communities, and are afforded the same life opportunities available to all children and young people to achieve their full potential’.

The QKP vision is that ‘within one generation, every young Queenslander is thriving’.

Our visions are united in their commitment to ensuring that all children and young people in Queensland have the opportunity to thrive.

Together, we recognise that a great start and a strong life journey must include culturally safe, supportive environments where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people are empowered to grow up strong – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – within their families and communities, with equal access to life opportunities.

This partnership is built on a shared commitment to culturally strong, community-led ways of working. The work has been made possible through independent funding from private donors. The strategy has been guided by what communities know will work, without being tied to government programs, agendas or election cycles.
