Welcome to the home of Winangay Resources
We acknowledge and recognise Aboriginal peoples as the traditional custodians of Australia, always was, always is and always will be Aboriginal land.
​
We acknowledge and thank the Elders (past, present, and emerging) for their wisdom, courage and care of country. We acknowledge with respect the resilience, contributions and strengths of Aboriginal peoples and thank them for their guiding and showing us the way.
​
Winangay acknowledges the non-Aboriginal organisations and workers who have come on the journey with Winangay and invite all organisations and workers to work in Stronger Ways with Aboriginal Kids and Families, to actively participate in reconciliation.
Our Mission
We provide culturally responsive, evidence-based resources, training, and support to strengthen families and heal communities. Our work enables practitioners and organisations to engage with Aboriginal families in ways that:
-
Uphold cultural identity and autonomy
-
Promote healing through connection, not separation
-
Recognise families as the experts in their own lives
-
Keep children safely with their family, on country, and immersed in culture
We are committed to sustainable best practice informed by research, lived experience, and ongoing collaboration with Aboriginal Elders, families, and communities.
We actively challenge systemic discrimination, division, and the entrenched apathy within unjust human services systems.
Who are we?
The Winangay team comprises, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal team members. Collectively the team has hundreds of years’ experience of working with Aboriginal Communities, families and children in the statutory and non-statutory context.
Consultants in their own fields the team came together to use their collective expertise to develop stronger ways of working with Aboriginal kids, families and communities. The Winangay team has worked from the heart, pro bono for over ten years, on this project.
Our Peer Reviews
"The tool is ground breaking and will result in a new way of working that will redefine best practice, requiring workers to work collaboratively with carers, identifying their strengths, as together they find ways of building carer capacity... and ensure Aboriginal kinship carers and kids are heard."
Dawn Wallam, (then) Chair of SNAICC
