Abstract
This resource was commissioned by the Social Justice Unit at UnitingCare Children, Young People and Families (UnitingCare CYPF) to support staff at UnitingCare CYPF (including the Jaanimili Aboriginal Services and Development Unit and Jaanimili members) in conducting research projects with Aboriginal people, communities and organisations. It provides a greater understanding of the main considerations when undertaking research and capacity building with Aboriginal people with some practical examples and case studies of relevant, effective and ethical research methods and processes. It emphasises the importance of conducting research in a manner that assists UnitingCare CYPF to achieve their goals to recognise, support and address Aboriginal children, families and community needs, rights, interests and aspirations. It also seeks to support the work of Jaanimili, particularly the capacity of its staff to conduct research with its clients and communities.
