Stories about being a part of your community
Charlie Jackson (in blue shirt centre), the Aboriginal Health Team from Port Pirie and Elder Robert Wilton recently checked out the Napperby venue for the fire pit. Charlie went hunting and brought back kangaroo and emu as well as lamb’s tails for entrée. Kangaroo Tail is Charlie’s speciality.
Some students from John Pirie High School in Port Pirie were invited to attend. These students have developed an amazing Indigenous Garden within their school grounds.
They met with Elders who shared stories with the students, and Charlie said it was a great day had by all.
Our aim is to locate individuals and families and support their access to the NDIS process with an intensive support program. We look for barriers that the communities experience and find ways to overcome them, ensuring we work in a culturally respectful way.
