24.01.2022 "I started it in October last year...Phoenix Training and Consultancy. We run 4hour sessions for healthcare providers. Mental health, is my focus. Just teaching them things like what does it mean to be part of the LGBTQ community, what are the barriers to accessing healthcare, what can we do to reduce those barriers... I think statistically, between 45 and 55% of trans people have attempted suicide in their life. Anecdotally I would say it's closer to 90%. Almost every Trans ...person I know has attempted at some point in their life...Anything we can do to reduce that...I think it's really important" Ash Polzin - Non Binary - Educator - Self Starter - Australian .

23.01.2022 The aim of this project is to foster an understanding and appreciation of Australias cultural diversity. Wehave combined photography and the personal narrative to highlight the richness and variety of our national identity. Australians represent a multitude of histories, generations, stories and even contradictions that continually unfold and change shape over time. Our identity is deeply personal and its roots touch everycontinent on the planet. It can not be defined by ste...reotypes and we need to create recognition thatwho we are as a nation can not be portrayed by a singular image. We are made up of First Nations, convicts, settlers, stowaways, migrants, refugees, every color andreligion there is and so much more and yet this is rarely portrayed. Our aim is to record, preserve andprotect as many of the individual moments, memories and journeys as we can. We view storytelling as an integral part of our global culture: to share knowledge; pass down traditions; entertain, and maintaina sense of identity.

21.01.2022 Constant move, that is the story of my life. I am a Tamil woman born in Eelam (Sri Lanka), a country where Tamils are still struggling for freedom - ever since 1949 when Sri Lanka got it's independence. Even though my parents had owned their house, we hardly lived in it. Years of constant moving started when our house was burned by the army. We moved so much ....When I was 17 years, my family [became] refugees. I am still hoping to find my place in this world, my home...

17.01.2022 When we read and study about Aboriginal people, we think about an Emperor who was from Tamil Nadu and it said that he lived here and left his foot print here.

14.01.2022 Kaye Heard came to Australia in 1941 (age 11) with her 4 brothers from Kensington, England. They lost their home during the London Blitz - a German bombing campaign against Britain in 1940 and 1941, during the Second World War. She arrived in Sydney after a 6-week journey on a ship. Upon arrival they were sent to a migrant camp in Home Glen. The camp had a communal toilet and they ate in a cafeteria style kitchen. She hated it so much she planned to stow away on a ship and go... back to England. She even went so far as to pack a suitcase and board a train to the shipyard. She got one station away and got hungry so she had to go back to the camp to eat! Kaye Heard - Survivor - Retired Nurse - Foodie - Australian There are 25 Million Ways to be Australian.

13.01.2022 Over the coming weeks we will be showcasing hardworking Australians in small business and the Not for Profit sector. Please show some support to Michelle McGarvey: My name is Michelle - I am a Mum of two, business owner, JPsocial media and wine enthusiast! I was born in New Zealand, lived in Italy and the UK before moving to Australia in 2009.... I started my business in 2016 after my second child was born. The thought of spending 2 -3 hours commuting to/from the city was unbearable, and a home business would allow me to spend more time with my children, contribute to the household income, and keep my skills up-to-datebut it turned into so much more! When a chance meeting with another local business owner lead to attending my first networking meeting later that week, I was thrown into a world where business suddenly meant so much more than being able to work from home it was about building a community and connecting with othersand now, I find that is what drives me helping others to succeed.

11.01.2022 "To me, my son represents the quintessential Australian. His father and I come from two very different places. Places where "belonging" comes with a question mark. Our hope is that our baby grows up knowing that this is his place and that he will respect it; it's land, it's history, it's people and all it's cultures and languages!

So let's all figuratively stand together and share our stories because we are all in this together. #storieschangelives We live in a wonderful age where we can connect with thousands if not millions of people while still observing social distancing. We are taking submissions. Contact us and we can help facilitate your storytelling journey. Here's the beauty of it! It doesn't have to be about the current state of the world! It can be about that trip you took that you've been reminiscing about or your favourite restaurant or even that lazy Sunday at the beach. #storiesmatter #25millionau #spreadkindness #spreadhope #goodnews #changethenarrative #storytelling

02.01.2022 Id go across Musgrave park in the morningto go to school and thered be aboriginal people sitting there. Men dressed in white shirts andlong trousers and hats and all that playing draughts on a big concrete draught set in the ground. A lot of these people were related to me but I was notallowed to talk to them or show them any recognition and these people were probably myaunties and uncles and cousins but because of the way society was and fear of being taken. Ihad no contac...t with my fathers family, cousins or any ofy culture up until i was probably in my 20s. But I always knew that I was different from my two brothers because my two brothersare not indigenous and I knew I was odd.
