Djerriwarrh FNAC - Community Support

Community Support

Djerriwarrh First Nations Aboriginal Corporation provides support that responds to the day-to-day realities experienced by individuals and families.

This work prioritises access, connection, and culturally safe engagement across a range of needs.

Support is delivered in a way that is flexible and grounded, ensuring people are met where they are and can access assistance that is relevant and appropriate.

Youth Programs

We create safe, inclusive spaces where young people can connect, learn, and grow.

Activities are designed to build confidence, strengthen cultural identity, and support positive social and emotional development.

The programs respond to the needs of young people in the community and provide opportunities for connection, leadership, and personal growth.

By creating culturally safe environments, these programs support young people to feel seen, valued, and supported.

AOD Support

AOD Support provides guidance and connection for individuals and families impacted by substance use.

The program takes a non-judgemental and culturally informed approach, understanding the broader social and emotional factors that contribute to substance use.

Support may include referrals, advocacy, and ongoing engagement to ensure individuals are connected to appropriate services.

The focus is on harm reduction, stability, and supporting people to move forward in a way that aligns with their goals and circumstances.

Case Management and Referrals

Referrals and Case Management provide practical support to help people navigate complex systems and access the services they need.

This includes housing, health, legal, and community services.

The approach is relational and responsive, working alongside people rather than directing them.

Support is tailored to each person’s situation, ensuring they feel understood, supported, and empowered to engage with services in a way that works for them.

Material Aid

Our Material Aid program provides immediate, practical support for individuals and families experiencing hardship.

This may include food, clothing, household items, or other essential needs.

The program operates with dignity and respect, ensuring that people can access support without stigma.

It also acts as an entry point into broader support, connecting people with additional services and assistance where needed.

Stolen Generations Support

Stolen Generations Support provides culturally informed assistance for individuals and families impacted by past government policies and practices.

The program focuses on reconnection, healing, and access to appropriate support services.

This may include referrals, advocacy, and assistance navigating systems.

The approach is grounded in respect, cultural safety, and an understanding of the long-term impacts of disconnection from family, community, and culture.

Men's Yarning Circle (coming soon)

The Men’s Yarning Circle provides a safe and culturally appropriate space for men to come together, share experiences, and support one another.

Through open conversation and connection, participants are able to reflect, learn, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.

The circle is grounded in cultural practice and emphasises respect, listening, and collective support.

It strengthens wellbeing, reduces isolation, and builds a sense of community and belonging.

Family Strengthening Camps
(coming soon)

Family Strengthening Camps bring families together through shared experiences that build connection, trust, and resilience.

These camps incorporate traditional learning, outdoor activities, and opportunities for families to spend time together away from everyday pressures.

The program supports stronger relationships between family members while reinforcing cultural identity and community connection, because we all know family is an important foundation for wellbeing and long-term stability.
