Help UnitingCare in Reconciliation

Published 10/09/23
An artwork by South Sea Islander and Butchulla artist and designer Tarni O’Shea, featuring a central element representing rejuvenation of the land through fire, constructive conversations, and creating an environment of learning and healing. This is surrounded by nurturing elements depicting UnitingCare business functions. Freshwater and saltwater flows around this, connecting UnitingCare to people far and wide.

UnitingCare will soon be designing our 5th Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and we want to hear from the people we serve.

UnitingCare provides care to hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders each year, through our family and disability services, as well as BlueCare, including Pinangba’s First Nations Services; Lifeline; The Wesley Hospital; Buderim Private Hospital; St Stephen’s Hospital; and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital.

We want to hear your voice and thoughts on the meaningful actions we can take to create a better, fairer future for First Nations Peoples.

That is why we are opening Fish Trap consultations, a series of open, collaborative sessions across Queensland, and inviting you to join with us and yarn.

The first session is at Bundaberg Uniting Church, on Thursday, September 14, from 10.30am to 12noon. The full list of sessions is below. Click on the link in your region to reserve your spot.
