Nikara’s Journey 21 and 22 Feb 2025

Nikara’s Journey

CARING FOR ABORIGINAL OR TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CHILDREN

Follow the story of Nikara and her non-Aboriginal foster parents as they learn how to provide the right support, respect her identity, and keep her safe and connected to her family, culture, and community.

This program provides both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Carers with the knowledge to care for and support Aboriginal children. Priority for this training will go to carers with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children or young people in their care.

Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February

9.30 AM – 3.30 PM (may finish early)

Location: Online

Presented by: VACCA
