In 2005/06 56,000 cases of child abuse were substantiated in Australia, and this figure is rising exponentially. Disillusionment is growing with an incident based approach to children's safety which fails to either acknowledge or intervene effectively in the cumulative effects of harm to the child's development and well-being. This project uses the leverage of new legislation to re-focus on an earlier intervention with vulnerable children at risk of cumulative harm within a hospital setting. An interdisciplinary lens is bought to the development of new knowledge to provide a better and healthier start to life for this group of children.

2005/2006年，澳大利亚有56 000起虐待儿童案件得到证实，这一数字呈指数增长。对儿童安全采取基于事件的办法，既不承认也不有效干预伤害对儿童发展和福祉的累积影响，这种办法使人们越来越感到失望。该项目利用新立法的杠杆作用，重新注重对医院环境中有累积伤害风险的弱势儿童进行早期干预。一个跨学科的透镜被买来发展新的知识，为这群孩子提供一个更好和更健康的生活开始。
