About the event
WALGA is proud to present the annual Aboriginal Engagement Forum (AEF).
Since 2017, the AEF has provided the space for the WA Local Government sector and partners to embrace the principles of reconciliation and share our collective goal of creating positive outcomes for Aboriginal peoples and the wider community, through respectful Aboriginal and community engagement.
This year’s Aboriginal Engagement forum, Doyntj-Doyntj Maladjiny | Growing Together will explore how we can unlock this collaborative power to form meaningful partnerships and transform relationships with Aboriginal people to deliver positive impacts for all.
The empowering program will bring together inspirational leaders, spotlight success stories and the lessons we can learn from them.
Elected members, staff and community leaders alike will come away with a tangible collection of ideas, connections and purpose to take back to their communities. For the first time, our Yarning Space will provide an outdoor hub on Kaarta Gar-up ground, providing a place to take some time to reflect or connect.
