Nikara’s Journey 4 and 5 March 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.

Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 March

9.30 AM – 3.30 PM (may finish early)
