23.01.2022 Wungening - Emergency Relief. Due to the overwhelming response for emergency relief, we are now at full capacity, and we are unable to take any further appointments until the 2021.... It is unfortunate we are not able to support everyone. If you require emergency relief, you will need to seek support through other emergency relief providers.

21.01.2022 Wungening Aboriginal Corporation held our Annual General Meeting last night. The past year has been an uncertain time for everyone. Wungening has been successful in continuing to deliver essential services to meet client and community needs during the COVID pandemic. Chairperson, Leah Bonson quotes "As Chairperson and along with the Board of Directors we would like to thank our staff, the leadership of management and partner organisations for the continuation of services and... programs during these difficult times. As we continue to grow, I am confident we will provide the best possible services to our clients and their families and over time will see positive impacts of our work on our communities." Last night's AGM included a new Board selection. Wungening would like to welcome returning Directors and newly elected Director for the new board term. Wungening's Board of Directors are as follows: Chairperson - Leah Bonson Vice - Chairperson - Danny Ford Treasurer - Michael Hayden Secretary - Christine Clinch Director - Glenda Kickett Director - Violet Bacon Director - Jarrod Hayden During last night's meeting the Board of Directors took the opportunity to acknowledge former board member Doreen Nelson for her tireless commitment and dedication during her term as Director. We thank Doreen for her support and wish her well on future endeavours. Other highlights of last night's meeting included the appointment of Life membership to Chairperson Leah Bonson for her outstanding commitment to the organisation. We would also like to note a significant life milestone for Danny Ford, who recently celebrated his 60th Birthday. You can view a copy of the 2019 - 2020 Annual Report, here: https://www.wungening.com.au/Pages//Category/annual-reports In closing, I would like to express a warm Wungening welcome to all of our new team members who have come on board in this past year, and pass on our heartfelt thanks to those who have moved on from Wungening this year. Lastly, from the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the staff who have worked above and beyond all expectations, in the most challenging of circumstances, and somehow have come out smiling and with warmth. We are grateful for all you have contributed to Wungening and the people we work with this year. Daniel Morrison Chief Executive Officer

08.01.2022 It’s a sad fact that you could fill the stands at Optus Stadium five times over with the number of people who experience family violence in Australia each year....

We are proud to be part of the No to Violence #PlayOurPart campaign alongside Angelhands and Wungening Aboriginal Corporation raising awareness and encouraging all Australians to speak up and prevent family and domestic violence. Support is available at 1800RESPECT and Men's Referral Service.
