Aboriginal health must be in Aboriginal hands
Thirrili, in sync with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and allied health organisations, is outraged by the Western Australian Government's decision to bypass the peak Aboriginal Alcohol and other Drug (AOD) organisation in WA's south west - funding for Aboriginal residential rehabilitation beds for WA's south west has gone to a non-Indigenous provider
Adele Cox, Thirrili CEO calls for the West Australian Government to immediately redirect the funding to Wungening Aboriginal Corporation.
"How are our people supposed to go forward at a pace that can carry as many of us across the wellbeing line, if the peak Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations are betrayed?"
"Are procurement policies, with protocols built around investment in Aboriginal led entities and Aboriginal workforces, only paper thin?"
