Closing the gap
Whilst many Aboriginal people have a good standard of living, there continues to be a gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in areas such as health, housing, education, employment and community participation.
Along with our government and community partners, we are committed to working towards a better future by strengthening bonds between Indigenous & non-Indigenous communities.
We currently deliver a number of government funded Indigenous services and also self-fund several initiatives including the Indigenous Family Support Service in Lismore and the Learner Driver Mentoring Program on the NSW Central Coast.
It’s all part of our greater goal to provide innovative services which support individuals, strengthen communities and enhance social and emotional wellbeing for all.
