	Sandy is a 15-year-old Aboriginal girl and has just been referred to a supported accommodation service. During the intake process, the worker Josie identifies that Sandy has some mental health concerns that have not yet been treated. Sandy also discloses that the reason she cannot live at home is that her mother’s boyfriend has been sexually abusing her. She tells Josie that she has not reported to the police or child protection and does not want to because she is safe now. Josie decides that a priority must be getting Sandy mental health care, so she identifies a youth mental health service and completes their referral form with all Sandy’s personal information and sends it to them. The next time she sees Sandy, she tells her she has referred her to the mental health service. A few days after Sandy enters the accommodation, Josie overhears another worker discussing Sandy’s case. She says, ‘What can you expect from an Aboriginal family? They’re pretty much all abusing their kids’. Josie asks the worker to come and talk to her about Sandy and the worker tells Josie that she does not think it’s appropriate to have someone who is ‘crazy’ in the accommodation as she ‘may be dangerous’.
