Abstract

[Extract] The disparities between birth outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers compared with the wider Australian population have far reaching sequelae that most mainstream Australian health services are not able to address (Ferguson-Hill, 2010; Makregiorgos, Joubert, & Epstein, 2013; Milgrom et al., 2008). Families have always been, and, still are the functional unit and foundational living environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people along with their childrearing practices (Geia, Hayes, & Usher, 2011).
