03.01.2022 Today is National Close the Gap Day. Whilst some important work has been done, and continues to be done, to improve the vastly different lived experiences of Indigenous people in this country compared to other demographics - there is still a long way to go. We need our governments to recognise this and invest in programs to help Indigenous organisations like Girudala take the lead in addressing these gaps. You can help by signing the pledge (link below) to put a call out to all governments to hear our concerns, take them seriously, and value our lives enough to make changes.

02.01.2022 Just a reminder - our office will be closed from midday today until 8am Monday 4th January. Our staff and Board of Directors would like to wish all our clients, colleagues and community members a safe and joyous festive season - take care of yourselves and one another. We are looking forward to working with you all for a bigger, better, brighter 2021. <3
