Aboriginal young people speak about culture and community

Shirley for website video postIn this twelve minute video, five Aboriginal young people talk frankly about their history and their connection to culture and country while in state care. The video is a distillation of many hours of interviews by Office staff in February and March in 2015. It was first screened at the Murraylands Community Gathering at Ninkowar on July 24th  2015 and is closed captioned.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
