25.01.2022 We are proud to be the major sponsor of this deadly initiative by Walkabout Barber. Brian and his team have just completed a successful trip to far North QLD to service the mob up there. He’s given us a shout out, take a look at our Link-Up logo on the back of the bus!

25.01.2022 Coalition of Aboriginal Peaks: Government must act immediately to transform the justice system for Aboriginal people. Link-Up NSW chief executive Janelle Clarke says past government policies including separation of families and forced child removals had led to long-lasting impacts on Aboriginal people and communities. "Greater investment into supporting our people through culturally appropriate reunification programs, counselling services and the use of circle sentencing suc...h as Walama Court would serve our people better than the harsh and unjust treatment they receive from the justice system," Ms Clarke said. https://www.canberratimes.com.au//aboriginal-groups-deman/

24.01.2022 Link-Up (NSW) Aboriginal Corporations Board of Directors, Staff and Members would like to extend their condolences to the family and friends of Uncle Victor Morgan. It fills us all with great sadness to lose such a respected man in our community. Uncle Victor joined the Board of Directors with Link-Up (NSW) in 2011 and was appointed Chair up until 2017. It was with his wisdom, and guidance that lead Link-Up (NSW) to where it is today. Prior to Uncle Vics time on the Board, he was a dedicated member of Link-Up (NSW) staff working with our community who were incarcerated. The community has lost a hero, a true gentleman and family, a husband, brother, uncle and cousin. You will be sorely missed Uncle Victor with your big beautiful smile that, no matter what the circumstances were, you would make us all feel happy.

11.01.2022 National Child Protection Week kicked off yesterday 6 September until the 12 September. With the 2020 theme being Putting Children First National Chil...d Protection Week is held annually across Australia to raise awareness of child abuse prevention. Now is the time to start having age appropriate conversations with your children about personal safety and what to do if they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. Make children aware that unwanted touching by anyone (family, friends or strangers) is not OK and they have the right to say NO. The campaign aims to engage and educate all Australians to understand they have a part to play in keeping our children and young people safe from violence, abuse and neglect. #aboriginalchildren #aboriginalaustralia #childrenprotection #lookafterourchildren #nationalchildprotectionweek2020 #puttingchildrenfirst #playyourpart
