Course Description
Refugee children who are detained in Australian offshore detention on Nauru have usually survived a multitude of traumatic experiences. Some were conceived or born on Nauru; while others arrived in Australia with their parents and were sent offshore where they spent the most critical development stage of their lives exposed to perpetual trauma, insecurity and fear for their safety. In this Clinical Master Class, held on 19 March 2019, Professor David Isaacs, who works and conducts research at both the Westmead Children’s Hospital and the University of Sydney, elaborated on providing care for children after they are transferred from Nauru to Australia for treatment for infections and psychiatric problems. He also explored some of the challenges faced in caring for these refugee children and their families in hospital settings. Finally, STARTTS’ work with some of these children and their families in Australia, was illustrated with a case study by Naila Hassan, who was a STARTTS’s Early Childhood Counsellor prior to 2022.
