Where We Work
Gunawirra is based in Rozelle and we run Yarning Aboriginal mothers program at this location, with Dragonfly at Westmead Hospital and at West Ryde in collaboration with the Northern Centre.
Additionally, we support preschools across remote and rural NSW, providing Allied Heath workers to support in the highest priority preschools with predominantly Aboriginal and Torres Strait little ones.
Gunawirra resides on Dharug Country of the Wangal Clan. We acknowledgethe traditional owners of these lands paying respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We also wish to acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities of Australia, and we respect and recognise that they still have a strong continuing connection to their culture, land, water and community.
Your donation will help us to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers and children.
