AngularJS access parent scope from child controller

I’ve set up my controllers using data-ng-controller="xyzController as vm"

I have a scenario with parent / child nested controllers. I have no problem accessing parent properties in the nested html by using $parent.vm.property, but I cannot figure out how to access the parent property from within my child controller.

I’ve tried injecting $scope and then using $scope.$parent.vm.property, but this isn’t working?

Can anyone offer advice?
