Family Prototypes

Through co-design with participating families over the past 2 years, the Sunshine Project has developed and tested a number of innovative approaches to enabling families to grow their good life.

For the Sunshine Project, we took a co-design approach with participating families:

  • respecting their lived experiences, and a no judgement approach;

  • ensuring lived experience representation on the project Steering Group;

  • hosting regular co-design sessions to design and test solutions and incorporate learning;

  • remunerating them for time spent on co-design work;

  • upskilling them to participate in co-design and advocacy.

​

These measures aimed to mediate the power asymmetry between the system, the expertise and processes of our own organisations, and the families we were seeking to walk alongside.

​

Our focus has been to learn not only what works well for families (in line with our project principles), but also to learn how the system responded when we tried working in this way...  

​

Below are several elements of support we tested over the 2 years.

We acknowledge Aboriginal Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands that our services are based on and pay our respects to Elders of these lands both past and present. Anglicare WA and Ruah deliver services across many Countries in WA, from Balanggarra Country in the North to Minang Noongar Country in the South. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the Custodians of the lands where our offices operate. We would like to thank the Noongar, Miriuwung Gajerrong, Tjurabalan, Yawuru, Nyikina, Ngarluma, Kariyarra, Nyiyaparli, Martu, and Wangkatja peoples for their wisdom and generosity.
