As we come to an end of we are excited to launch SUNSET DREAMING. This is a new extension of the JNC brand which was created by local artists, Gail Murphy and Bambi Murphy, two Bidjigal women from La Perouse who live and work in the community. We are lucky enough to have them both as part of our JNC team.

In early 2026 Gail Murphy and Bambi Murphy created an artwork with acrylic on paper and Emma Hicks, our graphic designer, worked to digitise the piece for use in JNC’s branding. From this came this beautiful image, SUNSET DREAMING. This work is broken into four clear elements: the women in the middle, the water running through the bottom, the sun standing strong, and the background.

This artwork tells a story: although people may feel alone, with a little bit of help, understanding and connection they don’t need to remain alone and in a dark and isolated place. The sun is always shinning; sometimes we just need a hand to lead us into the light. With the support of the water and the sun, everything can flourish and grow. The Eastern Suburbs areas that we work in are the areas of the saltwater people and in this image the representation of water is used to express connection, trust, and hope.

This year, we have taken the concepts, ideas, artworks, and language from last year’s Project to create an extension of the JNC brand which represents our commitment to reconciliation and being .

Feature 4 – The Background

The blue back of the artwork and the two circular elements, represent the past and the future, the yesterdays and the tomorrows. There are multiple meanings of this work; the two purple circular elements can represent the bad and good, the stepping from the old life to bring a new life. Such as a seed, the sun renews these pieces, refreshing and growing everyone's journeys. You can see many white dots in the background representing all the people and places you have connected with throughout your life.

Feature 3 – The Sun

Central to the image we have the colourful sun, representing the better days that can come when getting out of a crisis. Each woman in this image is looking for renewal, stretching for a new beginning. The sun is a reminder that this renewal is always waiting. Ready to be there for you. Backing your journey the whole time. The story of the sun is about new beginnings, you cannot live without the sun, you cannot survive without the sun, it is the background of changing your circumstances. The sun is always there to support you and will be available, even if you are not always looking towards it.

Feature 2 – The Women

The three women in the central front of the work have their hands up in the sky. This represents reaching, stretching, searching, for a new path, a new beginning. For many people who access JNC’s support, knowing what is needed is one of the most difficult parts of the journey. Our organisation, committed case workers, community workers, and aged workers support people in reaching these new goals. In understanding their new journeys.

Feature 1 – The Water

Water is not only a journey line but a storyline too. We see the waves going up and down, representing the journey that many have. The experience of both highs and lows. All the dots in between the waves represent other places, other people, other organisations. In times of complex circumstances and crisis, people can often feel isolated and alone. This story represents that in these times, a small bit of support from others can build a strong foundation of trust and create a new and meaningful connection.

The theme for is All In, a call to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. At JNC, we commit to reconciliation in our work, our values and our connections.

Last year, during , we asked our community, staff and volunteers, what reconciliation means to them. Based on these insights, we created a collective artwork that you may have seen launched June 2025.

This year for , we have taken the concepts, ideas, artworks, and language from last year’s project to create an extension of the JNC brand which represents our commitment to reconciliation and being hashtag .

This week we will be sharing this artwork on Facebook and Instagram. Keep an eye out for more!

Today, on National Sorry Day, we remember and acknowledge the shameful history of Australia’s Stolen Generation and mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

Twenty-three years after the Bringing Them Home report and twelve years since the National Apology, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are still 10.6 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be removed from their families. We cannot begin to address the present problems in Australia without first accepting the truth of Australia’s history.

Today, we say Sorry.
