| Description: |
The Prime Minister's Apology to the Stolen Generations and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Peoples has reinvigorated Indigenous public policy debates, and re-focused attention on dire needs in health care.
The Prime Minister has responded by announcing a Healing Foundation to address the cycle of trauma and grief in Indigenous communities, particularly those relating to the Stolen Generations. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Foundation will support holistic and innovative healing and provide education and evaluation services.
How might community members, policy-makers, philanthropists and researchers work together to ensure we are filling public policy silo gaps rather than re-creating them? Dynamic and engaging speakers will share their views on this key policy area.
Panel speakers:
- Aunty Joy Wandin-Murphy AO, Senior Wurundjeri Traditional Owner
- The Hon Jenny Macklin MP, Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs
- Dr Lowitja O'Donohue, Patron, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Foundation Development Team
- Gregory Phillips, Co-Chair, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Foundation Development Team
- Mike DeGagne, Chief Executive Officer, Aboriginal Healing Foundation, Ontario, Canada
