Centrecare Inc has long been committed to supporting people from refugee and migrant backgrounds as they rebuild their lives in Australia.

Through programs such as Bridge to Belonging (BTB), delivered in partnership with Communicare, Centrecare works to ensure that individuals and families feel welcomed, supported, and connected as they begin their new chapter.

This year, Centrecare is proud to lead the Refugee Week celebrations through the BTB program, working alongside key settlement partners including Multicultural Futures and Ishar.

Refugee Week 2026 marks a significant milestone in Australia’s history: the granting of one million permanent humanitarian visas.

When we think about gambling harm, we often think about money but it doesn’t stop there.

It can show up as:

• Stress or anxiety
• Strained relationships
• Trouble at work
• Financial pressure
• Feeling out of control

Gambling harm is bigger than a bet.

Support goes beyond finances too.

If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling harm, we are here to help.

During National Reconciliation Week, we stood together in the spirit of this year’s theme, “All In”. A call for collective truth-telling, healing, and action.

On National Sorry Day, we reflected on this year’s theme, Sorry to Action, which highlighted the importance of moving beyond acknowledgment to actively supporting truth-telling, healing, and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It calls on all Australians to listen, to learn, and to contribute to change, whether through education, advocacy, or supporting initiatives led by community. Here's a video link to Yokai Healing our Spirit's Sorry Day event: https://www.youtube.com/live/GzCFNaSMTYk?si=-9dm7L1qLnvrPi6a

Yokai inaugural NRW Walk around the former Sister Kate’s site honoured all Stolen Generations Survivors and recognised the profound significance of the place we are working on: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EErfSRHt3/

We thank Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service and Reconciliation WA for joining us and extend our deepest gratitude to the Elders and community members who walked alongside us.

We also attended the 2026 National Reconciliation Week Breakfast at Optus Stadium in Perth, hosted by Reconciliation WA. It was a powerful morning of truth-telling, with keynote speaker Narelda Jacobs moving the room through her stories and strong call to action.

We remain committed to being All In, not just this week, but every day, in our pursuit of meaningful, ongoing reconciliation.

More than 300 banners flew across Western Australia this National Reconciliation Week, showcasing powerful artwork by emerging Aboriginal artist Melissa Sunfly, a proud Kukatja/Ngardi woman.

Titled "Murrunpa", Melissa’s piece shares a story passed down from her late grandfather, renowned Balgo artist Sunfly Tjampitjin. Through symbols of law grounds and sandhills, it reflects deep cultural knowledge, connection to Country, and the strength of stories carried across generations.

These banners are a visible commitment to reconciliation and to building strong, respectful relationships with First Nations peoples.

Centrecare is proud to support this initiative by Reconciliation WA.

Thanks to Jessica Stojkovski MLA for visiting our Midland branch yesterday.

Centrecare Inc pays our respect to Eddie Mabo, who spearheaded a landmark High Court challenge which overturned the doctrine of "Terra Nullius" (meaning “empty land”).

His decade-long legal battle led to the historic 1992 Mabo decision, which formally recognised Indigenous land ownership and paved the way for the Native Title Act of 1993.

Mabo’s perseverance, despite significant challenges, was instrumental in advancing the rights of First Nations peoples and reshaping Australia’s legal and social landscape.

On 3 June, Australians commemorate Mabo Day, marking the anniversary of the historic Mabo decision.
