We’re proud to unveil the winning artwork for the Northern Adelaide Su***de Prevention Community Action Plan, Growing Through Grief, created by Kaihla Gibson.

A proud Wirangu, Kuyani and Arabana woman, Kaihla’s artwork speaks to hope, healing and the strength of community. It reminds us that connection to culture, family and one another is at the heart of healing.

"While grief may become part of our journey, healing is possible when we remain connected to culture, family and community."

We sincerely thank Kaihla for sharing her story, strength and creativity through this powerful piece. We look forward to sharing the full story behind the artwork, and its meaning, as part of the final Community Action Plan.

Last Wednesday, we marked 15 years of KWY with a gathering at our office. We were honoured to hear reflections from Deputy Premier Kyam Maher MLC, Minister Katrine Hildyard MP, Minister Alice Rolls and Commissioner Dale Agius, who spoke about the importance of ACCO-led responses and the strength of community-led solutions.

We also shared a special video featuring families whose lives have been impacted by the support KWY has provided, and unveiled a commissioned artwork that captures the story of our journey so far.

Over the past 15 years, KWY has grown from a small team into a statewide organisation, while remaining grounded in community, relationships and healing. During this time, we have had the privilege of walking alongside more than 11,000 families.

This milestone is not just about KWY. It reflects the trust placed in us, the strength of the families we work with, and the support of the many people who have contributed to our journey.

To our supporters, partners and community, thank you for helping us continue this important work. To our dedicated staff, past and present, thank you for your passion, care and commitment. To the children, young people and families we walk alongside, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey.

Together, you are the heart of 15 years of Creating a Space for Change.

And of course a special thank you to Craig Rigney for your leadership, passion and unwavering commitment to creating meaningful change for children, young people and families.

It’s been a busy and meaningful National Reconciliation Week for KWY staff.

On Wednesday morning, staff attended the National Reconciliation Week Breakfast, a powerful opportunity to come together, share a feed, have a yarn, and continue the important conversations around reconciliation.

Yesterday, our team was proud to be part of the Rec in the West community event, connecting with community and joining in a day that always brings people together.

As an ACCO, we know reconciliation is strengthened through genuine allyship; by listening, learning, showing up, and taking action alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

This year’s theme, “All In”, reminds us that reconciliation isn’t something we watch from the sidelines. It’s something we actively commit to in our work, our words, and the choices we make every day.

We were also proud to see KWY CEO Craig Rigney attend Junction Australia's Lunch and Yarn event, speaking on the allyship panel discussion ahead of the unveiling of Junction’s Allyship Statement.

Reconciliation doesn’t live in a single week or moment. It’s built through everyday actions, conversations, relationships, and ongoing commitment.

So this week, and every week, let’s be All In 🖤💛❤️

KWY is proud to have once again sponsored the Port Lincoln First Nations Round at Mallee Park Football Club Inc. for 2026 🖤💛❤️

It was a deadly day of family activities, football, culture and community coming together to celebrate connection both on and off the field.

The day showcased the high standard of country Football, with a close game right up to the final siren with Mallee Park coming away with a well fought win.

A big thank you to Mallee Park Football Club for hosting the day and to Wayback Football & Sporting Club for being part of this ongoing partnership.
