North Coast
This year we helped 3,570 clients throughout our North Coast region.
We are particularly proud of the many events we were involved in this year that allowed us to engage with
our community. This includes participating in and taking the lead on NAIDOC activities, attending the Lismore
Lantern Parade, the Jingi Walla Voices Reconciliation Choir project, the Bushtucker Engagement Project with
work for the dole participants, our Women’s Multicultural Group and various parenting programs.
We are also extremely proud of the working relationships we have with our partners in the region. This year we
collaborated with the local Positive Adolescent Sexual Health (PASH) Consortium and in partnership, we took
part in a conference for 700 high school students on sexual health at Southern Cross University. In collaboration
with the Murwillumbah Neighbourhood Centre, we delivered Aboriginal Building Connections seminars in the
Tweed region, which were sponsored by the Tweed Shire Council.
We are a member of the Family Law Pathways Network (FLPN) and as part of this project, family violence
specialist workers will now offer court support for women and information and referral for all family members
who are affected by family violence at the Family Court. This includes referral of men who use violence to the
accredited men’s behaviour change program.
