Yapatjarrathati Projects: Codesigning health solutions with the Mount Isa community
The Yapatjarrathati Projects co-designed the Tracking Cube as a way to think differently about how we could expand Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Diagnostic Services. The aim was to get assessments out of specialist clinics and into primary care so kids could get the help they needed close to home.

DATAforFASD: Diagnostic Accuracy of a Tiered Assessment for FASD
Funding: NHRMC Partnership (GNT1170755).
Across Sectors: Expanding the Tracking Cube across sectors in Queensland
Three regions within Queensland will use the Tracking Cube to become homepoints of coordination for collecting information and supporting at-risk children across education, early learning, child safety, youth justice and health. Devolving coordination of care from specialists to non-specialists places community at the centre of support.
Funding: Queensland Mental Health Commision Achieving Balance Plan.
Accelerate: Diagnosing children faster, supporting them sooner
This a stepped-wedge cluster randomised implementation trial will expand the Tracking Cube beyond FASD to other neurodevelopmental disorders and evaluates the usability and acceptability of the Tracking Cube across 7 primary healthcare services across the country.
