24.01.2022 This NAIDOC week is about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history. Celebrating that we have the oldest continuing cultures on the planet and to recognise that their sovereignty was never ceded. Always Was, Always Will Be.

23.01.2022 Maranguka, meaning ‘caring for others’ in Ngemba language is a community hub that works alongside the people of Bourke, NSW. During the COVID-19 crisis Maranguka’s infrastructure, capable of bringing together community, government, and local services to quickly and effectively reach the most vulnerable has wrapped around elders, families, and young people to keep them safe, informed, and connected. https://bit.ly/3eL4yFf

22.01.2022 It's National Reconciliation Week and the theme In this Together has prompted us to share the work of our First Nations partners at this time when working effectively together is critical to saving lives. Aboriginal community-controlled health orgs and place-based initiatives across the country have led a proactive, coordinated response to the pandemic that has kept infection rates low. Read about their leadership and genuine grassroots collaboration in our Dusseldorp Forum News - https://mailchi.mp/dus/a-year-in-review-latest-news-3947645

18.01.2022 "In Australia, children as young as ten can be held criminally responsible for their actions. This means they can be arrested by police, remanded in custody, convicted by the courts and imprisoned. Next week, Australia’s state and federal attorneys-general will meet to discuss raising the age of criminal responsibility. They cannot pass up this critical opportunity to change the way we treat vulnerable and marginalised children." - Chris Cunneen Professor of Criminology, University of Technology Sydney

17.01.2022 Through the COVID crisis, there are communities across Australia that have demonstrated resilience and innovation, delivering fast and effective action to support children and families when and where they need it most. Here is how four place-based, community-led initiatives are responding to a multitude of challenges while providing the glue to ensure no one falls through the cracks.

13.01.2022 Today we celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day and would particularly like to acknowledge the nation-leading 'elders of tomorrow' at Nawarddeken Academy in Kabulwarnamyo, West Arnhem Land, NT. Yo Komak!

12.01.2022 Before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in Australia, more than half the number of children in custodial facilities were "on remand". This means they were unsentenced, awaiting the outcome of sentencing or other legal matters. However, recently published figures show a significant decrease in the number of children, particularly Indigenous children, remanded in custody since March 2020. This suggests the high rates of pre-COVID custodial youth remand were not necessary and supports existing calls for a critical re-examination of our youth and adult justice systems.

11.01.2022 When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and Australia began to implement health measures such as social distancing and the closure of schools, the Hands Up Mallee team asked themselves whether their current work was the most important thing their community needed right now.https://bit.ly/2XnV10B

09.01.2022 The arrival of COVID-19 in Australia posed a serious risk for families in West Arnhem Land. Within a short period of time, all West Arnhem communities became closed to all non-essential travel. Visitor permits were revoked by the Northern Land Council only approved essential workers were allowed to travel. See how the community of Kabulwarnamyo sprang into action to keep Elders and families safe. https://bit.ly/2PR02e9

08.01.2022 Since the beginning of the pandemic in Australia, there have been only 60 First Nations cases nationwide. This represents only 0.7% of all cases, a considerable under-representation, as First Nations people make up 3% of the total population. Only 13% of First Nations cases have needed hospital treatment, none have been in intensive care, and there have been no deaths. These results have shown how effective (and extremely cost-effective) giving power and capacity to Indigenous leaders is. The response has avoided major illness and deaths and avoided costly care and anguish.

07.01.2022 Today is National Sorry Day. Here is what that means to five Indigenous young people.
