We won! 🎉
Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Division and RMIT University have jointly won the WIL Australia Local Hero Award, presented last night in Adelaide.
WIL stands for Work Integrated Learning. It's the hands-on placement part of a university degree, where students learn by working alongside people in the field. This award recognises a small or medium organisation that goes above and beyond for social work students, creating placements that are creative, meaningful and connected to real-world practice.
Helen and Gwen Gillen proudly accepted the award and gave a speech on behalf of the Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group and the Family Violence Prevention Division.
Thank you to RMIT for the partnership, and to every student who has learned with us. Congratulations to everyone involved!
