It's been a busy few weeks for our Aged & Disability Team at Waltja!
Next week, our Remote Community Connector (RCC) Team is hitting the road! We are travelling out for the NDIA Access Clinics in Papunya, Mount Liebig and Haast Bluff (Ikuntji).

We are proud to be working side-by-side with the NDIA Team and Allied Health Professionals. Together, we'll meet with participants and their families to provide vital assessments and diagnosis for people applying to the NDIS.

This is incredibly important work. Bringing these clinics directly to the bush helps community members access the NDIS much faster and ensures they get the exact support they need in their plans!

Strong Partnerships Helping Our Kids
Great news! The Waltja RCC team has been working hard alongside our friends at Congress CYATS (Child and Youth Assessment Service) and the NT Children’s Development Team (CDT) for their visits this month to the beautiful communities of Engawala & Atitjere.

Working together, we are making sure families in community get the right health and developmental support for their children.

A big thank you to Congress CYATS, NT CDT, and our dedicated Waltja RCC team for working together to support our young people and families!

At the end of September during the school holidays, Waltja's Youth Team and MAC Youth teamed up for an overnight campout with 9 young participants.
Waltja supplied the swags, water and food, while the young people involved pitched in to help collect firewood & also helped staff cook some kangaroo tails and potatoes in the hot coals.
During the trip the group had the opportunity to split for the young men to have a yarn with the male workers, while the young women spent time with the female worker.

Big thank you to Philipus Wilyuka, who showed great leadership and helped with the organisation of the campout. He helped staff keep everyone on track and had a great time listening to stories late into the night before heading off to bed. The next morning Philipus also helped with cooking some sausages for breakfast, rolled some swags and gave a hand loading up the troopy, along with everyone else.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a great camp.

Last week, Liana from Waltja's CaFIS program teamed up with Ez from 'Hearth Earth Art Therapy' to deliver a school holiday program in the Atitjere community. Community members came up with the idea to create a mural in the art centre. Throughout the week, children, youth and elders came together to work on the mural, sharing stories, culture and experiences through art. The Mental Health Association of Central Australia also came along on Tuesday to host a BBQ, engage with community members, and promote the upcoming Safe Yarn Training, on the 14th of October.

A big thanks to the Atitjere community, Children's Ground, Ez from Heart Earth and The Mental Health Association of Central Australia.

We were so happy to welcome Rebecca and Judith to the Waltja Art Centre. As part of the ‘Voices from the Bush’ Conference, Rebecca took the time to learn more about Waltja, our story, and the work we do to support families across Central Australian communities.

Thank you, Rebecca and Judith. In purchasing our products from our art store you help support our people who are in need for ERF on a daily basis.

The Waltja Media Team, Lenny and Jess, were delighted to attend the ‘Voices from the Bush’ Conference, which gave them the opportunity to share the work and values of Waltja.
It was wonderful meeting people from across Australia, including first-time visitors to the Red Centre and those returning to explore more of our beautiful region.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, connected with us and showed their support. It was greatly appreciated!
