Congratulations, Jon!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Jon Blurton, Indigo Junction’s Strong Fathers’ Worker, on being named Community Person of the Year at the 2026 Midland NAIDOC Awards!

Jon is a proud Noongar man and a natural leader in Midland and the City of Swan. Through Kwobidak Moort, our Strong Fathers program, Jon walks alongside Aboriginal fathers to support them to stay connected with their children and take up their place in family and community.

He is also a leader of Moorditj Maaman, the Midland Aboriginal men’s group, creating a space where men can yarn, support one another and keep culture strong. His leadership extends further through his work on the Board of Karlup Aboriginal Corporation, contributing to community and cultural guidance with humility and consistency.

Jon has a special presence. He brings strength and calm into a room and creates spaces where people feel safe, supported and heard. He leads through kindness, consistency and the standards he sets.

The impact Jon has on the men and families he works alongside is profound. Midland is stronger because of him.

Congratulations, Jon, on this well-deserved recognition and another great achievement. We are so proud to have you as part of the Indigo Junction team.

Last week, we held a 2-day workshop with our Birdiya Panel to lay the foundation for a Conflict Resolution Framework as part of the Aboriginal Family Safety Project.

This was an important step in strengthening the way we work through concerns—guided by cultural authority, respectful process, and community-led decision-making. We’re grateful to the Birdiya Panel for their time, wisdom and careful guidance throughout the two days.

A sincere thank you to Associate Professor Jocelyn Jones for her steady leadership of the process, and for holding the space in a way that supported thoughtful, respectful discussion.

We also want to acknowledge Heather and Philip from Anapana Ridge for their generosity and hospitality at Anapana Ridge, which helped create a welcoming environment for this work.

Further community engagement opportunities will be held later in 2026 as we continue to listen, learn and refine this framework in a way that reflects community expectations and strengthens safety for families.

This project is supported by the Department of Communities.
