The SibAware pillars are designed to be embedded in policy and practice. They are aligned with best practice approaches to working with families and intend to strengthen the focus on siblings and promote the review and reform of current models of working to expand conversations, approaches and inclusion of siblings.
1. Whole family approach
All family members are recognised and supported.
2. Prevention and early intervention
Siblings are provided with support early resulting in better outcomes for the whole family and the community.
3. Sibling relationship first
Sibling relationships are crucial, regardless of caregiving.
4. Community connection and support
Community connections are important for siblings, which in turn, benefits the whole family
