Australian World Music star and proud Gamilaraay man, Mitch Tambo has joined the Gunawirra family. Gunawirra is thrilled to have Mitch join our journey and we look forward to working together.
“I’m proud to be given the title Uncle at Gunawirra. Helping children reach their full potential and discover their purpose is a passion of mine and to be able to do this at a community, grass roots level with the mob at Gunawirra is really special for me and my family.”
Ursula Yovich is a proud Burarra and Serbian woman who has become one of Australia’s most celebrated performers and has impressed audiences around the world. Ursula has had an extensive career in TV, Film and Stage, appearing in Tv series Mystery Road, The Gods of Wheat Street, Redfern Now and Rake and has been in film such as Jindabyne, Australia and Top End Wedding.
Ursula decided to retire from stage acting to focus on music, writing, her family and giving back to the community. This led her to becoming an ambassador for Gunawirra.
Our Team
All our workers are professionals especially trained and sensitive to all cultures. Many work in other clinics, hospitals or therapeutic settings and have years of experience in their field of expertise. We consult with Aboriginal experts in DET, early education and health, and work in tandem with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal professionals from the childcare, health and education sectors — all of whom are given continuing professional training to help deliver Gunawirra’s programs.
Your donation will help us to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers and children.
