Yanng Ngalung Maligundidj Cultural Training means “Walk with the Wergaia People” in the local language of the Wotjobaluk Peoples of the Wimmera. Joanne Harrison Clarke is a proud Wotjobaluk woman whom identified the need for cultural awareness training for mainstream service providers to begin to understand the plight of her people and family and walk alongside them in the journey of reconciliation while learning together.
The training is targeted as an opportunity for the mainstream workforce to develop an understanding of local Aboriginal peoples in the Wimmera and Southern Mallee region. The training is delivered by local people with local content and specifically with an Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal presenter concurrently to role model reconciliation and to support a safe space for optimal learning.
This training is no longer funded by the Department of Health and is available as a fee for service. To arrange a quote please email lissy.johns@wimmerapcp.org.au.
