| Summary: | Executive Summary: This research investigated effective First Nations community development approaches in Australia. This scoping study was commissioned by ADRA Australia, the lead humanitarian organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist church, to inform their programme development and to strengthen their responsiveness to Australia’s First Nation communities. This qualitative study utilised yarning, an Indigenous research method and was guided by Indigenous ethical principles. The research engaged 28 key informants and First Nations community members in several sites around Australia and intentionally engaged decolonisation strategies in its planning and implementation. This research provides unique insights, being one of only a few studies which have engaged First Nations Australian Adventists to bring forward their perspectives and experiences to inform future strategic planning.
