🙋 On World Social Work Day (17 March) we'd like to introduce you one of our newest recruits April, who is a counsellor at the Aboriginal Specialist Wellbeing Service in Kempsey.

April is proud Gumbaynggirr woman with Dunghutti connections, whose work is grounded in culture, community and a commitment to social justice.

She says," Social work is more than a profession to me—it is about creating safe spaces, empowering voices, and working towards stronger, more connected communities.”

Happy World Social Work Day to all our social workers for the care, compassion and dedication you bring to supporting our community each day. ✊🏽💙
