Present 

Gunawirra is a community-led organisation with 13 years of experience supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers, children and communities. We are Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people working side-by-side and culture is at the heart of our organisation and all of our programs. The effectiveness of many of our programs have been evaluated by the University of Western Sydney and the University of Sydney. Our cultural advisors and professionals work together to ensure we provide authentic, community-led services that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and healing.

The Gunawirra multidisciplinary team primarily works in two parts. One being our Young Aboriginal Mothers Group and the other working closely with 26 preschool communities to provide speech therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy and social work services. Gunawirra has extended its operations to support preschool teachers at predominantly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander schools to manage trauma within the classroom and teach in a culturally appropriate way.
