Gunditjmara Co-operative on show
THE Gunditjmara Aboriginal Co-Operative in Warrnambool was on show last week.
At the invitation of Member for Wannon Dan Tehan, Senator for Northern Territory Jacinta Nampijinpa Price toured the new state-of-the-art facilities and gained a firsthand insight into the wide range of primary health care, independent living, and family and community services available to indigenous and non-indigenous people.
These services included outreach for aged care and maternity health.
Mr Tehan and Senator Price, who is also the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians and Government Efficiency, met with the Co-operative’s chief executive officer Danny Chatfield and his team.
Mr Tehan said he was pleased to be able to support the Gunditjmara Aboriginal Co-operative to repurpose funding to allow them to invest in the site.
Senator Price said the facility was a credit to the co-operative and that it was wonderful to hear that it supports the community as a whole.
