So proud to be a part of this amazing project! #100FamiliesWA
Incredible turnout at @wamuseum to launch the #100FamiliesWa report, an Australian-first research project looking into the lived experience of entrenched disadvantage. To achieve systemic change, government and the services sector must work together with the community #WAPol

Welcome to the Noongar season of Birak! Birak is the first summer so is very dry and hot. It is also the time the sacred Moodjar (Christmas Tree) blooms. The Moodja holds a special place in the hearts of many Noongar people... https://t.co/RaO0rbGrye via @ABCNews

The Nuytsia floribunda, or 'Aussie Christmas tree' as it is commonly known, bursts into bright orange life each December, but how it survives and thrives is truly fascinating.

From our CEO 👇as we've been told funding will be cut back next year to many of the vital services we provide to families going through relationship breakdown such as family mediation, supporting children after separation and specialised domestic violence support
As MPs speak out against family violence, the Federal Govt is risking the future of specialised DV & family support services. @scottmorrisonmp you cannot talk of “making a real difference for women & children” whilst cutting funds to these services
