Our Patron visits Inner West office

  Donate

Our Patron, Professor Brian Burdekin AO, met with new and old staff at our Inner West office for a meet and greet. He spoke about the Burdekin model of care and the lessons learned during the homelessness inquiry in the late 80ties. Many of the recommendations made then still ring true today.

You can read more about our Patron here or his speech at the National Youth Homelessness Conference in 2019 and check out the photos below of Prof Burdekin AO, CEO Justene Gordon Graham Bargwanna, Jacqui, and some of the Inner West team.

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.

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.
