ARMSU has been appointed by the Minister of Families, Community Services & Indigenous Affairs as Indigenous Professional Support Unit (IPSU) for SA. The Indigenous Professional Support Unit is an initiative of the Inclusion and Professional Program funded by the Australian Government.
We are funded to support services to provide quality care that is culturally safe, appropriate and meets the needs of Indigenous children and families. We work in consultation and collaboration with service providers and actively support the exchange of information and ideas in the sector.
We also run an unfunded service, ARMSU Talking Culture, providing cultural awareness sessions for children in mainstream child care, pre-school and out of school hours care services.
ARMSU is a service of Network SA Resource, Advisory & Management Services Inc.
