TAFE Queensland
Proud Gamilaroi woman Selina Combite is dedicated to improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families through her work in child safety at ATSICHS Logan. With support from a partnership between ATSICHS and TAFE Queensland, Selina completed a Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention, delivered in a culturally safe environment by inspiring trainer Deb Stephens.
The training built Selina’s confidence, formalised her skills, and equipped her to give families a stronger voice in the child safety system. Now focused on domestic violence prevention, Selina continues to channel her culture, compassion, and growing expertise to strengthen her community every day.
