Critical Realism Reflection Theory in Australia’s VET-Trained Volunteer Bilingual Breastfeeding Support Initiate

Aim: The research initiative, a collaborative effort, supports the government's role in these programs through volunteers, which is crucial and underscores the potential benefits of VET programs for immigrants. Globally, breastfeeding rates have plateaued, and Australia and its diverse cultural groups present a unique landscape for the emergence of pluralistic societies. This rich diversity has shaped the shift in breastfeeding rates, characterised by a significant reliance on community-based organisations. Methodology: Critical realism, as an emergent phenomenon, may be recognised as the 'offspring' of a complex system. It offers a reflective position. Policies aim to have breastfeeding at the forefront of health. As a platform for life-long learning, VET holds immense potential to integrate immigrants into labour markets and empower them, fostering a sense of sustainability and self-reliance. Findings: This study has been mutually beneficial, highlighting the value of diverse perspectives. In breastfeeding organisation research, applying critical realism theory has proven valuable, offering significant insights and underscoring its relevance in this study. Conclusion: We have enriched our understanding, particularly in the context of small groups as selfhelp. The promotion through the Korean web page was public rather than patient.
