Aboriginal Family & Community Space
The Space is a cultural community centre that provides cultural therapy and positive opportunities for inclusion in relationships, community experiences and activities, and connections to country, spirituality and culture that promote a true sense of belonging and happiness
Using a service coordination framework to maximise service provider network collaboration and complementary servicing, Aboriginal people are supported in a spirit of reciprocity to build their capacity building using ‘Ngara’, deep listening to one another through continual cultural learning.
