23.01.2022 This is the Week Without Violence (18 to 24 October). Together we stand united against family violence. During Victoria’s lockdowns there has been an increase in the frequency and severity of violence against women. Family violence takes a profound and long-term toll on women and children’s health and wellbeing, on families and communities, and on society as a whole. This year, as we are in lockdown and staying home, we have organised an online activity so that you can stil...l show your support and participate safely. Join us this week to raise awareness about family violence and to end violence against women.

18.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC Week! NAIDOC is a national celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. North Richmond Community Health stands on land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. In 2012, when our building was opened, we were given the honour of an Aboriginal name by Wurundjeri Senior Elder Doreen Garvey-Wandin: Wulempuri-Kertheba, which translates from Woi wurrung language as ‘staying healthy together’. We ...carry that name as a commitment in our work every day: to work with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, in partnership.
