16.01.2022 HOMELESSNESS WEEK 2020 - AUGUST 2-8 A million Australians are currently unemployed with many facing rental stress and the possibility of losing their home. Its a crisis but we can turn things around. This year the theme for Homelessness Week #HW2020 is Everybody Needs a Home. A series of activities are planned in partnership with the Everybodys Home campaign.

16.01.2022 Happy #NAIDOC Week! The theme this year is Heal Country. Country is more than a place. Country is family, kin, law, lore, ceremony, traditions, and language. H...ealing Country means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia's national heritage. The right to protect Country and culture is fundamental. Destruction and desecration of our sacred lands or ancient sites - some of the oldest human occupation sites on the planet is an enormous loss for both our nation and the world. But to truly heal Country we have more to do. www.naidoc.org.au/get-involved/2021-theme #NAIDOC2021 #NAIDOCWeek #HealCountry
