factors that determine the children’s pathways through life
to good and poor outcomes. She has worked with the Commonwealth and
state governments in a range of Aboriginal policy and program
areas, including homelessness, housing and justice. Melisah
previously worked as a registered psychologist with children, young
people and families, with a special interest in focusing on
