Statement from the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care

The National Executive has moved quickly to appoint Ms Dawn Wallam as Acting Chairperson, in order to allow SNAICC to continue with the important and challenging task of advocating for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.
