This week is National Reconciliation Week, and we’re spotlighting the organisations that make up our Aboriginal Consultative Council, a group intended to build trust and strengthen shared decision making and therefore support self-determination within the community.
Today we are spotlighting Bubup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre.
Bubup Wilam, meaning “Children’s Place” in Woi Wurrung language, is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Education, Health and Wellbeing organisation. This ensures the local Aboriginal Community have control over issues that directly affect their community and take up their right to self-determination in a meaningful and effective way.
Bubup Wilam provides Aboriginal children, families, and the community with access to an integrated range of health and wellbeing services and programs centering around the child through attending our long day and kindergarten programs. This is then extended to their school aged siblings and the family.
You can support their work as we work with families and community to nurture strong, proud, and deadly kids in a culturally rich and supportive educational environment here: https://bubupwilam.org.au/donate/
