Join the community

We are a special breed of people who do things the Burdekin way.  We believe in the rights of children and young people to have a safe childhood and often refer to ourselves as the Burdekin family. Some of our supporters quietly make donations others leap into action. Everybody plays an important role in achieving our goals.

Subscribe

A monthly newsletter goes out to our subscribers highlighting what happens in the organisation, opportunities to get involved - locally on the Northern Beaches and in the Inner West as well as industry-wide.

Subscribing is a great way to keep up to date with what’s happening at The Burdekin Association.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Our outreach services are instrumental in identifying issues early and in reaching the hard to reach.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people of the Cadigal and Gayamaygal Clans. We acknowledge the Country on which we live, work, and gather as being Aboriginal land.

We acknowledge the lands, waterways and skies that are connected to Aboriginal people. We honour them and pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We respect their rightful place within our communities, and we value their ancient cultural knowledge and practices.

Aboriginal Flag
Torres Straight Island Flag

We deeply respect that this will always be Aboriginal land and we will honour and follow the first peoples’ values in caring for the Country and for preserving their culture.

We deeply value that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the oldest living culture in the world and we will continue to work with their peoples and communities to ensure their cultures endure and remain strong.
