REFLECT our update on reconciliation

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. On Thursday 12 July 2018, Rural Lifestyle Options Australia held a morning tea in recognition of this important and significant event. Members from Jymbilung House, a local Indigenous community organisation, attended the morning tea with Elder Lorraine Iselin opening the event by giving a Welcome to Country. Elder Denise Lewis also gave a small speech explaining the significance of NAIDOC Week. "It's about education as well as celebration of our culture, there is so much going on in our lives that people are unaware of and we get to share that during NAIDOC." We are proud of our relationship with Jymbilung House and will continue, as a service provider to develop and grow our cultural knowledge and realise our vision for reconciliation. With special thanks to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for providing $1000 in grant funding to host this event.
