Acknowledging Country - Consumer Rep Network (2/2)

As part of Health Consumers' Council commitment to the development of Consumer Representatives in WA and in recognition of the need for services to be Culturally aware and respectful, we offer this workshop to the Consumer Rep network.

This training was developed by HCC Engagement Manager and Bundjalung woman, Tania Harris and supports people to design and deliver their own personalised and meaningful Acknowledgement of Country.

This small, immersive workshop will give you the skills and confidence to deliver a considered and thoughtful Acknowledgement.

This powerful statement from Reconciliation Australia says:

There have been many moments in Australia’s reconciliation journey that make us want to turn away. But when things are divisive, the worst thing we can do is disengage or disconnect. 

National Reconciliation Week’s theme for 2024, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must continue. 

Now more than ever, we need to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation. We know that the 6.2 million Australians who voted YES are committed to better outcomes for First Nations people, and are with us.  

It is imperative that supporters of reconciliation stand up to defend and uphold the rights of First Nations peoples. To call out racism wherever we encounter it, and to actively reinforce the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across this continent.  

Now more than ever, the work continues. In treaty making, in truth-telling, in understanding our history, in education, and in tackling racism. We need connection. We need respect. We need action. And we need change.   

Now more than ever, we need reconciliation.

Numbers are limited for this workshop - please register only if you are able to attend.
