Join our Industry Panel of speakers exploring insights into NAIDOC Week and the theme ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ means to them as active community members, and dedicated community service practitioners.
Panellists have extensive experience across the Community Services Industry that they bring to the conversation as we explore this year’s theme:
- Brooke Prentis – Proud Wakka Wakka Woman, CEO of Common Grace and CSIA Board Member.
- Cassie Brophy, Regional Coordinator, Boosting Local Care Workforce, CSIA - A proud Aboriginal descendant of the YIR YORANT people, Traditional owners of the Edward River/ Cape York Peninsular region in Far North Queensland.
- Julie Allen, Senior Sector Capacity Officer, QCOSS – Proud Palawa Aboriginal woman with ancestry deeply embedded in Aboriginal cultural history from Northern Tasmania.
- Jon Tapau, QLD Cultural Practice Lead, Key Assets – Proud Kallali (Thargomindah), Bitjara (Springsure) and Komet (Murray Island, Eastern Torres Strait) Aboriginal man.
CSIA began its Reconciliation journey in early 2020 through the development of its ‘Reflect’ Reconciliation Action Plan. We aim to provide a unified voice for Industry, as well as platforms for hosting bigger system level conversations; creating opportunities for respectful and inclusive discussions around Reconciliation to be heard, honoured and addressed.
CSIA acknowledges and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the world’s oldest living continuing cultures. We invite other community organisations to walk with us in our journey and commitment to helping to pave the way towards Reconciliation in these lands now call Australia.
Join us for the Always Was, Always Will Be – Celebrating First Nations peoples in Community Services NAIDOC Week event.
