Join the conversation on how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages are used and taught in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings.

On behalf of SNAICC-National Voice for our Children and First Languages Australia, CIR are undertaking research into how the use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages in early years education supports children's development, identity and wellbeing.

The informal online yarning-style interview or group discussion will take up to 60 minutes, and we invite teachers, parents, carers, service leaders and others with relevant experience to take part.

Not only is October Indigenous Business Month, it is also Mental Health Month.

This year's theme, 'Together We Thrive', is an important reminder that you are not alone when you need support. Reminding us to reflect and build our connections with loved ones, community, and Country, strengthening the connections that help us thrive. Cultural identity, belonging and connectedness are central to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing, and with First Nations communities across Australia still being disproportionately impacted by mental health challenges, connectedness and community are paramount.

Through our work on the Heal Our Way Su***de Prevention Campaign, we have seen the important need for First Nations-centred mental health support services and the important role connection and community play in supporting mob to thrive.

We encourage you or anyone you know who needs support to reach out to a support service listed or👉 https://www.alsnswact.org.au/crisis-support

There are so many ways to experience Australia, and some of the most powerful are through the stories, knowledge and connections to Country that have been shared for thousands of years.

We’re proud to have worked with Tourism Australia, supporting the growth and recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism and the incredible experiences being shared with visitors from Australia and around the world.

For World Tourism Day, we’re celebrating three incredible tourism experiences that invite visitors to see, hear and experience Australia through the eyes of Traditional Owners:

Last week at BIGSOUND, we attended the Goolwal Goolwal panel - Yarning Strong: First Nations Music Industry Review. We heard from important voices about the review and what it means for First Nations music workers across the industry.

A valuable conversation about legacy, representation, cultural strength, and the next chapter for the contemporary music industry.

We want to hear from you too. If you’re a First Nations music worker, share your experience and have your say in the review.

Today is Indigenous Literacy Day!

We’re proud to have supported Oxford University Press Australia promoting their Yarning Strong series — a First Nations-authored classroom resource designed to help teachers bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, voices and stories into primary classrooms.

The latest edition includes new and updated content reflecting contemporary conversations and milestones, including the Voice to Parliament Referendum and Treaty in Victoria.

Our work has focused on helping share the benefits of Yarning Strong with educators and highlighting the First Nations authors, educators and contributors whose knowledge and experience sit at the heart of the resource.

On Indigenous Literacy Day, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of ensuring First Nations stories are not only read, but heard, understood and valued in classrooms across Australia.
