AASW Recording | Be Brave, Make Change: Examples from rural, regional and remote South Australian social work practice

This event for Reconciliation Week 2022 showcases some of the excellent work taking place in Aboriginal communities in regional South Australia. Presenters Nicole Linsell, Emily Ware and Jaylene Ware discuss the work Centacare Country SA is doing with Reconciliation Action Working Group. This conversation is similar to many yarning circles that enable us to share knowledge, experiences and to enable questions to flow.
