Conclusions: There is an evident need to counsel and
support families with VLBW infants on
mechanisms to cope with the
initial stressors that can be anticipated to arise.
While the previous Government in its 2007 changes provided
mechanisms through which these corporations could gain
support, either directly from FaHCSIA or through their Native Title Representative Body, FaHCSIA have stated that the provision of funding
support for PBCs beyond their
initial establishment phase has been limited by the high level of demand for resources by the Native Title Representative Bodies and the level of funds available to the program.
