Free event for carers of Aboriginal children
Date: Tuesday 26 May

This cultural day for carers will bring people together to yarn, learn, and connect to Wathaurong Country. Celebrate storytelling and cultural connection through the creation of traditional bush dolls. Participants will use natural fibres and fabrics to craft dolls or animals that represent spirit, family, and place. This workshop provides insight into the role of dolls in Indigenous culture and fosters a space for creativity, sharing, and connection.
Carers will then be invited for a lunch together.
As a result of participation in this activity, carers will:
- Have greater confidence caring for an Aboriginal child
- Increase their understanding of Aboriginal culture, history, identity
- Improve their ability to support a child’s cultural connection
- Create connections with other carers
A $50 digital gift card will be emailed to you after the session to assist with travel and childcare costs.
The session is designed for kinship, foster and permanent carers.
