Date: Friday 5 June

Time: 10.00 AM – 1.00 PM (Lunch will be provided)

This cultural day for carers includes a guided tour of the Tae Rak (Lake Condah) wetlands providing an overview of the Gunditjmara creation story, the lifecycle of Kooyang (eels) and the lake’s extensive marine and birdlife; and continues on to see the network of aquaculture systems designed to trap and harvest kooyang (eel) for food and trade.

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
  • Have a stronger empathy and understanding of intergenerational impact
  • Create connections with other carers

A $100 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.
