About

Gunawirra is a community-led organisation with 13 years of experience supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers, children and communities. We are Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people working side-by-side and Culture is at the heart of our organisation and all of our programs. The effectiveness of many of our programs have been evaluated by the University of Western Sydney and the University of Sydney. Our Cultural advisors and professionals work together to ensure we provide authentic, community-led services that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture and healing. 

​

​The Gunawirra multidisciplinary team primarily works in two parts. One being our Yarning Aboriginal Mothers Program supporting women with Aboriginal children aged 0-5yrs, providing a range of holistic support for improved health and lifestyle outcomes. The other, our Clinic on Country program works closely with 26 preschools and communities to provide speech therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy and social work services. With Culture as the foundation for all of these programs it provides the pathway to healing and allows the introduction of additional clinical interventions.
