I am a proud Eastern Arrernte (Alice Springs) man that has lived in the Eastern Metropolitan area of Melbourne all my life. So I can call this place my home and community but my Culture and Stories come from the Centre. I am actively involved with the Aboriginal community in the EMR and also I sit on the Koorie Court as a respected elder.
\n\nI have been honoured to be in a leadership role in this community since 1995. Being on several committees and board of management structures.The community has given me strength and belonging over the years and with this knowledge and life experience I have been a strong advocate for their needs and aspirations.
\n\nBeing in a position to be part of a team with Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service (BWAHS) that provides a cultural, nurturing and clinical services those people that have been exposed to Family Violence gives me immense satisfaction.
\n\nHealing is a natural and cultural way of how we look after our people in a non-judgemental way that has positve outcomes.
