04.01.2022 Yesterday's story in the Centralian Advocate.

02.01.2022 Alma Ngalmi (pictured left) recently became our first qualified Indigenous retail trainer. Alma turned the challenge of not being able to travel to communities due to COVID-19 into a positive by using the time to accelerate her study and complete both Certificates IV in Training and Assessment and Retail Management. With biosecurity restrictions now easing Alma is traveling to communities to build her experience in facilitating Vocational Education and Training. Her style... has made a positive impact with trainees. I think it’s really important to make people feel comfortable and deliver training in a culturally appropriate way. When trainees learn that I have lived and worked in communities like they do, it breaks down barriers and changes the whole experience. It’s great to share stories and experiences. It definitely makes things much more relatable, said Alma. Alma came to Outback Stores in 2017 with five years’ experience working in the Barunga Community Store. She started in a reception and administration role but was promoted into the training team after returning from maternity leave in early 2020. I want to show other Aboriginal people in community that if you set goals and work hard to achieve them there are great career opportunities in either in retail or other fields like training, she said.

02.01.2022 We continue to work closely with remote communities through this challenging time to ensure safety and food security.
