Our mob, our wellbeing

We are coming together to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to heal from wounds from past government policies and practices. To connect with and empower the community to support healing and cultural connection. We endeavour to support and empower families to stay together and reconnect with self, culture, country and kin. The Program hopes to promote family wellbeing and sustainable community connection to celebrate all that we have; the resiliency, strength, power, and passion of the people. We will endeavour to do this utilising our strengths of genuine care, transparency, collaboration, connection and enthusiasm.

Our commitment

For this reason, the FWB program uses an all-inclusive approach that actively engages with all family members to develop and coordinate strong case management.

Our commitment is to:
  • Focus on the child
  • Empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents, families and communities
  • Enable self-determination
