WOMINJEKA Come with purpose.
Cabbe melemung’il narrin-ik Kellie. Hello, my name is Kellie. Since 2022, we’ve been travelling the state to support Anglicare Victoria (AV) staff to set up cultural spaces in their offices. We’ve now created cultural spaces in Bendigo, Echuca, Morwell, Box Hill, Lilydale, Preston and Broadmeadows for staff and clients to use that are culturally appropriate and safe. Every month we visit the cultural spaces to see staff and drop in for a yarn. In May, young people in the leadership academy took part in a guard of honour for the North Melbourne Football Club during this year’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round at Marvel Stadium. In June, Uncle Ray Thomas (Gunnai) facilitated an art workshop and Aunty Trina Dalton-Oogjes (Wadawurrung) taught a basket weaving workshop in Bendigo. At Darrango yan-dhan we held a resume writing workshop with guidance from the AV recruitment team. Ngoon Godgin (thank you) to our partner organisations for your commitment in supporting our young people and their future careers. If you’d like a cultural space set up in your AV office, please reach out to by@anglicarevic.org.au. Kellie Hunter Senior Cultural Operations Lead Buldau Yioohgen
