National Reconciliation Week | Be a Voice for Generations

Posted Monday 29 April 2024 | CheckUP Australia

Join CheckUP Australia this National Reconciliation Week for a Queensland Primary Health Care (QPHCN) event exploring how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The event will commence with a cultural performance from the Nunukul Yuggera Aboriginal Dance Company, which is sure to be a moving and memorable experience.

Leading the event will be Kieran Chilcott, CEO at Kalwun Development Corporation Limited and CheckUP Board Director. Kieran will facilitate a Q&A session with Lynette Anderson, our dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lead. Together, they will shed light on the meaningful work we are undertaking to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and foster a staff culture that embraces diversity, promotes understanding and supports reconciliation.

Additionally, we are excited to have Edward Mosby, a respected psychologist and founder of Wakai Waian Healing, set to join us. Ed is a CheckUP Outreach provider who will be sharing valuable insights on healing and mental wellbeing within the context of reconciliation.

Further enriching the event will be a panel discussion featuring members of the CheckUP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Committee, Rona Scherer, and Rhonda Skibasaki. Kieran, who is the Committee's Chair, will lead the discussion, providing an opportunity for diverse perspectives to be shared

We have also invited guest speakers representing organisations with Reconciliation Action Plans. They will discuss the important work their organisations are undertaking to foster reconciliation.

Following the event, attendees will have the opportunity to network while enjoying light refreshments.

We encourage you to register now for what is sure to be an informative event!
