National Reconciliation Week 2026

This National Reconciliation Week, let us acknowledge our shared history, cultures, and achievements while we acknowledge the importance of strengthening relationships, respect, and opportunities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians.

Reconciliation is more than a conversation — it is action, partnership, and creating pathways that empower First Nations communities.

Across the country, WISE Aboriginal Corporation Group continues to work alongside our communities, government, industry, and service partners to support culturally responsive solutions that create lasting impact for current and future generations.

We acknowledge the strength, resilience, and leadership of our First Nations peoples and remain committed to walking together toward a more inclusive and united Australia.

🖤 Walking together.
💛 Creating opportunity.
❤️ Strengthening communities

This important work reflects the value of First Nations leadership, lived experience, and community voices in shaping culturally informed approaches that better support veterans and honour service.

WISE Aboriginal Corporation Group congratulates Jayson on this important contribution and we look forward to supporting stronger partnerships and meaningful outcomes for First Nations veterans and communities nationally through this and as a provider of services to our veterans communities.

Today, we pause to remember — not only in silence, but with gratitude.
We remember those who left behind their homes, families, and futures to serve our nation.

We honour their courage, their mateship, and their sacrifice.
And we remember those who returned home carrying memories that will never fade.

We pay tribute to their service by upholding the values they lived by — courage, mateship, and dedication to something greater than ourselves.

These values continue to guide and inspire us every day.

“When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Lest We Forget.

🌿 ICC Project Update - Supporting Integrated Care and Commissioning in the Fitzroy Valley 🌿

As part of the Kimberley Integrated Care & Commissioning (ICC) Project funded by Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, we travelled to Fitzroy Crossing to meet with providers, community leaders, and stakeholders who continue to facilitate high levels of service and support to our First Nations communities.

Across the trip we had great fortunate to attend and engage the sector and community across multiple platforms.

👉 Community Collaboration

Attendance to a forum hosted by the Marninwarntikura Women's Resource Centre (MWRC) in collaboration with Royal Far West and the Marrara U team, highlighting the fantastic work being delivered across local schools and the Baya Gaiy Children’s Centre.

👉 Aged Care Services
Visting Juniper Aged Care Guwardi Ngadu Residential Aged Care Home we received insights into the daily realities of delivering quality care in remote regions of Australia. Discussion on the complexity of service delivery, ongoing infrastructure development to support participant access and workforce accommodation as well as the success of workforce initiatives like the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme supporting services in Fitzroy Crossing.

👉 Far North Community Services
Thanks to the support of CEO Kathryn Hough, Denise connected with Cheky, Far North’s Fitzroy Crossing Team Leader. Part of a Bhutanese visa-sponsored cohort, the local team support around 20 NDIS participants in the region and despite challenges since the 2023 floods, Far North has continued operations resulting in continued positive engagement and outcomes for participants within the NDIS while maintaining a strong and permanent presence in the Valley for over eight years, delivering vital services with dedication and cultural sensitivity.

✨ These engagements, intelligence gathering and upcoming initiatives underscore the importance of one of the ICC Project’s primary focuses: strengthening local workforce solutions and ensuring culturally safe, integrated care pathways across the Kimberley.

🌿 Strength Through Collaboration 🌿

As we celebrate Indigenous Business Month 2025, the theme “Strength through Collaboration” reminds us that we achieve more when we come together.

WISE Aboriginal Corporation Group, through WISE WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, is proud to be working alongside our good friends at Rainbow Gateway Ltd to deliver the Bagurany (Strong for Work) First Nations Resilience Program across remote QLD and NT in Camooweal and Alpurrurulam.
✨ This community-based program is designed to support First Nations jobseekers to:

✔️ Build strength and confidence
✔️ Stay grounded in culture and community
✔️ Take steps toward training and employment pathways

Delivered in partnership through the Community Development Program (CDP), this initiative strengthens opportunities for our remote First Nations communities, ensuring participants are supported in their transition into meaningful employment.

Together, as First Nations organisations we’re creating stronger futures for our communities. 💪🏽🌏

Many thanks to Katie Owens, Robert Howard and your team at Rainbow Gateway for your support and collaboration and opportunity to work together to support community development and workforce pathways.

Group Chairperson, Eben Nickerson, said:

"With it being Indigenous Business Month, and with this year’s theme being ‘Strength in Collaboration,’ the opportunity for both WISE Aboriginal Corporation and myself personally to work alongside Rainbow Gateway and their team in the delivery — and to be welcomed into community in both Camooweal and Alpurrurulam — highlights the value, importance, and strength of a collaborative approach in supporting the identification, development, and delivery of community development and training-to-employment pathways across our remote communities."
