In the first week of May, we spent time in Katherine with the Board of Directors from Sunrise Health Service Aboriginal Corporation, workshopping our Governance Manual for NT Aboriginal Health Services.

At the 3-day workshop, Directors Anne Marie Lee, Deanna Kennedy, Eileen Avelum, Marlene Collins, Michele Farrell, and Yvette Roberston shared their expertise and recommendations for how to make the resource more user-friendly and reflect the real work of governance for our community-controlled health services.

The days also doubled as an opportunity for Directors to spend time together reflecting on their own organisation. One Director said of the experience, “The information was very useful. [We] learned a lot. The facilitator was excellent. Would love to do more training this way.” 🙌

In April the AGMP team attended both the 2024 Aboriginal Governance and Leadership Forums and Garramilla/Darwin NT Treaty Symposium, run by the Northern Territory Government Office of Aboriginal Affairs.

The events held space for over 400 Aboriginal leaders and delegates and non-Indigenous allies from across the Northern Territory and interstate to gather, hear, and learn from some of our inspiring Aboriginal leaders.

The days were filled with inspiring stories, recognising exceptional Aboriginal leadership along with the challenges faced in two-way governance. There was space for constructive discussions on progressing treaty and truth-telling in the NT, including the necessary and often invisible work of governance. We explored the many ways our sector is demonstrating leadership, in our communities, towns and cities.

We were proud to be a part of this annual event. If you missed out this time, make sure you keep your eye out for next year.
