Our Nugel program is the first of its kind in Victoria: fully responsible for the protection and care of Aboriginal children and young people on Children’s Court protection orders.
Nugel, meaning ‘belong’ in Woiwurrung, is for Aboriginal children involved in the child protection system. Nugel manages the case planning and case management of children and is a new model of child protection that embeds traditional Aboriginal cultural practice in our service response and includes working closely with family and community to build capacity and restore circles of care.
