During this year's NAIDOC Week, members of the Fay Fuller team were honoured to join the Umoona community in celebrating 50 years of Umoona Community Council Inc.

It was a special occasion, made even more meaningful by hearing from founding member George, whose reflections on Umoona's early days spoke to the vision, determination and strength of those who laid the foundations for the community we see today. His stories were a powerful reminder that each generation carries forward the legacy of those who came before.

Like the Umoona tree, the community remains deeply rooted in culture, connection and resilience, while continuing to grow and flourish for future generations. The past 50 years stand as a testament to the leadership, perseverance and collective spirit.

We are deeply grateful to the Umoona community for welcoming us to share in this significant milestone. It was a genuine privilege to celebrate alongside community, witness the pride, and listen to the stories that honoured Umoona's journey over the past 50 years.

We wish the community every success as the next chapter continues to grow from such strong roots!

🖤💛❤️ Happy NAIDOC Week! 💚💙🖤

This year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly, is all about celebrating the Elders, organisers, artists and communities who built this movement and the generations of leaders who continue to carry it forward into the future - shining a light on First Nations strength, culture, legacy and voice.

The Fay Fuller team are looking forward to getting along to some of this week's incredible events!

Our Strategy for 2026 - 2033 sets our intentions for the next seven years, partnering with community for long-term wellbeing.

We know that lasting change does not come from quick fixes. It comes from sustained relationships, shared power and a collective commitment to building the conditions that allow communities to thrive, now and for generations to come.

That is the journey we are committed to over the next seven years.

You can read our strategy, alongside our plan for setting the foundations in the first 18 months, on our website: https://www.fayfullerfoundation.com.au/our-strategy-2026-2033

As Reconciliation Week 2026 comes to a close, we're sharing our reflections - follow the link to read about our RAP journey, and what this year's Rec Week theme, 'All In', means to us.

We’ve come to the end of another National Reconciliation Week, a week that this year carried the theme ‘All In’. Two words. Simple on the surface, but certainly powerful in potential.

Sharing about our journey with Nik&Co E-Learning Hub!

This Reconciliation Week and every week we recognise that continuous learning is part the journey towards reconciliation. In particular, there is a responsibility that sits with non-Indigenous people and organisations to deepen their understanding of history and recognising the way in which long-held policies and systems continue to create inequitable outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This comes with embracing discomfort and leaning in - to enact vital processes of truth-telling and create lasting systemic change.

Recently, the Foundation subscribed to the newly created Nik&Co E-Learning Hub. Grounded in a learning and education approach to changemaking, the platform is made up of a series of short courses on topics ranging from colonisation and racism in Australia to allyship in action and reconciliation. As individuals, and as a team, we have been immersed in exploring these courses as a pathway for continued learning and reflection.

Just as we recognise the importance of learning, we also recognise that this sits alongside listening, showing up, challenging inequitable systems, and walking together. We thank Nik&Co. Consultancy for their work in building a space where individuals and organisations can ground these actions in knowledge.

Sunday May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

As we reflect on the strength, resilience and advocacy of LGBTIQA+ communities, we recognise that the work of challenging discrimination is a collective and ongoing responsibility - of allyship, respect, solidarity and walking together.

Want to learn more about IDAHOBIT? https://www.idahobit.org.au/ is a great place to start in discovering more about the history of this day and the different ways you can get involved.
