We are the Australian Government Department of Social Services.

We worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to create this document.

We wrote some words in bold.

We explain what these words mean.

There is a list of these words in the Word list.

You can ask someone you trust for support to:

• read this document
• find more information.

This is an Easy Read summary of another document.
