🚧 Exciting Development Update! 🚧

We're thrilled to share some progress updates on our ongoing projects:

1️⃣ Transition (Basil) House:
🏡✨ Great news! The internal painting of our new Transition House is now complete, marking a significant milestone in its construction. External works are currently underway, bringing us one step closer to offering safe and secure interim housing for people with disability who need additional support to meet their longer-term needs.

2️⃣ Newly Renovated Kitchen at St. John's Campus, Thurgoona:
👩‍🍳🍲 We're delighted to announce that our newly renovated kitchen is nearing completion! It's just a matter of time before it's ready for use. This kitchen will provide a professional environment for participants to get involved with cooking and food preparation activities!

Today, we stand together to acknowledge the pain a

Today, we stand together to acknowledge the pain and suffering endured by the Indigenous peoples of our nation. On this National Sorry Day, we remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.

The first National Sorry Day was held on 26 May 1998, one year after the Bringing Them Home report was tabled in Parliament. The Bringing Them Home report is a result of a Government Inquiry into the past policies which caused children to be removed from their families and communities in the 20th century.

We extend our sincerest apologies to the Stolen Generations and their families, whose lives were forever impacted by the trauma and injustice of our past history.

Let us reflect on the past, confront the truth, and work towards healing and reconciliation. It is a time, that all Australians, can all play an important part in the healing process.

2023 theme is ‘Be a Voice for Generations’ and it encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives, where we live, work and socialise.

Let’s make a pledge, and voice our commitment to actively build a future where all Australians can thrive together, with respect, understanding, and appreciation for our diverse cultures and histories.

May we listen, learn, and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples, ensuring that their rights, cultures, and traditions are valued and preserved.

Together, we can foster an inclusive society where everyone feels a sense of belonging, free from discrimination.
