We have another location! We’ve found additional space due to the growth of our team, at C-Cubed Cowork up on Level 3, 107-109 Mann Street in the Gosford CBD. You’ll still find us in the cottage behind the Gosford Anglican Church, where we will retain a presence. Here’s some of our team at the new space!

Did you hear Aunty Bronwyn Chambers on ABC Central Coast this morning? Great to hear the conversation about National Reconciliation Week 2026 that takes place from Wednesday 27 May to Wednesday 3 June each year, and the revitalisation of Darkinung language with language classes commencing in schools!

A grandmother and grandson on the New South Wales Central Coast are on a journey to revitalise their Darkinyung language and place names.

Did you hear Aunty Di O'Brien from Mingaletta Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Corporation on ABC Central Coast this morning, talking about National Sorry Day?

Each year, 26 May marks National Sorry Day, acknowledging the Stolen Generations — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families between the mid-1800s and 1970s — and the tabling of the Bringing them home report in 1997.

Aunty Di was also interviewed on ABC Central Coast from back in 2021 and here is the link

From Stolen Generation to community leader, Aunty Di finally discovered she was not only Aboriginal, but also related to a famous Indigenous activist!
