Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC week and embraced the 2018 theme ‘Because of her, we can! This year’s theme celebrates the essential role that women have played – and continue to play – as active and significant role models at the community, local, state and national levels.
In recognition of this theme, we'd like to share a wonderful website created by Rona Glynn-McDonald, a proud Kaytetye woman. Rona's website, Common Ground shares Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and lived experiences with the mission to help Australians see the value of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures through providing access to engaging and authentic content, that will help bridge gaps in knowledge. Continue embracing the spirit of NAIDOC and take a look at Common ground!
Our SafetyWorks team spent some time last week reflecting on the theme Because of her, we can! and deepening our understanding of NAIDOC week. What we learnt was that we have much more to learn – so that is what we are setting out to do!
