Our governments play a role in providing care and support to families and kids - but we don't often think about how those services are provided and whether they actually deliver sufficient 'care.' In this conversations Jarrod Wheatley explores his experience in working in the out-of-home care space, and unpacks a distinct model of care that is based explicitly on relationships and connection.
For anyone who has personally, or knows of people that have experienced institutionalised forms of care - whether in aged services or child services - this is for you. It is a story of a different kind of care that could transform how our governments fund and support care in and across communities.
