There are many barriers to providing sustainable and effective service delivery to remote and disadvantaged Indigenous communities. Moriarty Foundation has worked hard with communities to overcome obstacles, such as socio-economic, cultural and historical challenges, as well as intergenerational trauma and the disruptions caused by crisis.

Factors that have been critical in driving our success at achieving sustainable results concerning Closing the Gap targets are our co-designed model, the creation of meaningful local employment, a whole-of-child focus (0-18 years), the longevity and consistency of our programs, being adaptive to the needs of community, creating partnerships with other community and health-related organisations, and our Aboriginal worldview.
