The Noongar Institute has the Missing Ingredient! by Anne DeSouza 5 October 2015
T
he Turnbull administration’s newly appointed Deputy Health Minister Ken Wyatt identified “genuine partnership” with the Aboriginal community as the missing ingredient. The Noongar Institute of Western Australia is established precisely to facilitate this partnership to deliver excellence in education and cross sector services that will answer community and national aspirations. “I look back on some of the prime ministers we’ve had who wanted to make a difference, but I think one of the ingredients that is missing out of all of it has been a genuine partnership with Aboriginal people at the community level” Ken Wyatt with Patricia Kavelas, Radio National As the Member for Hasluck, the Hon. Mr Wyatt endorsed the Noongar Institute of Western Australia as a “grassroots initiative”. The initiative stemmed as pro bono social enterprise is seeking funds and support from the Federal and State Government, philanthropy and corporate Australia. The Institute welcomes a productive working relationship with the incoming Federal Administration. In 2013 this ‘Noongar innovation concept’ was launched in the Midland Town Hall by a small group of local families and has grown to operate as an inclusive Noongar Corporation based in the Swan area of Western Australia. Representing the authority of Noongar families, the Noongar
Institute of WA is owned and governed by Elders and families and is strategically designed
to realise the aspirations of all members of the community.
