Abstract
This review has been undertaken to inform the adaptation of the KidsMatter resources for Indigenous students and their families. It draws on current literature and research to consider the issues affecting the mental health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australian children and associated implications for schools. Its purpose is thus twofold: to provide information about mental health issues affecting Indigenous children and their families, and to analyse the issues with particular relevance to the role that schools can play in supporting Indigenous students' mental health and wellbeing.
