  • Engagement Blackfella Way Yeaca Dhargo Family Project facilitates a cultural awareness training seminar named “Engagement Blackfella Way”. This is aimed directly at government services and non-government organizations that deal with Indigenous people and provides engagement strategies for workers to use when supporting Indigenous people. ‘Engagement Blackfella Way’ provides an understanding of how non-Indigenous workers can assist and communicate with Australian Indigenous people. Local Indigenous people from youth to elders have participated in this event to offer not only testimonials for the group but to also engage in the promotion of their culture and break down barriers that hinder them accessing mainstream agencies. We are now taking registrations for this seminar and to register your interest or further information phone Nicky Evans on (07) 3265 3260 or email on projectworker@kurbingui.org.au.

"Kurbingui strives to treat Indigenous cultures and beliefs with respect.  To some communities, it is distressing and offensive to depict or name persons who have died.

 
Indigenous persons who may be offended are warned that some articles and photographs on this website may contain such material."
