We have known for a long time that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led mental health, healing & SEWB services have big impact on Mob’s holistic wellbeing. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Victoria need access to these services now.

Remember the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System back in 2021? We do.
We are calling on the Victorian Government to fulfill their commitment to implementing all the Royal Commission recommendations and invest in these needed solutions.

Today is the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.

On the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, we are asking the Federal Government to exempt Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders from aged care fees and means testing.

All Rainbow Mob should feel safe and supported, no matter where you live.

You don’t have to go through tough moments alone.
Reach out and just have the yarn. A friend, a loved one, or a support service can make a real difference.

Australia has a Blak history.

We come from 65,000 years of Culture, knowledge & resistance.

Today is a day of profound pain. It marks invasion, dispossession & ongoing harm.

Our Culture is older than this date and stronger than its harm.

Always was, always will be.

[VACCHO @VACCHO_org]

Make no mistake – January 26 is a day of mourning.

January 26 is not a date of Australian tradition – it’s a choice.

It’s a choice that was made by governments, and it’s a choice that’s been changed before, so why can’t it change again?
