Anglicare WA

headspace Hedland team stands alongside community marking the 80th anniversary of the Pilbara Strike ✊❤️

In 1946, approximately 800 Aboriginal pastoral workers across 25 stations in north-west Western Australia walked away in defiance of the Aborigines Act 1905 (WA) - launching the longest strike in Australian history and inspiring other communities to fight for their rights.

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, ‘All In’, reminds us that in reflecting on moments like these, the spirit of reconciliation calls on all of us to listen, learn, and show the deep respect that Aboriginal history and culture so rightfully deserve.

Anglicare WA is committed to walking alongside community with humility and support - acknowledging that culture, connection and history continue to guide the way forward. History isn’t something that sits quietly in the past; it lives, breathes, and shapes how we show up every day.

We’re grateful our team could be part of an afternoon dedicated to truth-telling, sharing stories, and honouring the strength and legacy of those who stood for justice.

We're ALL IN, this National Reconciliation Week and every other week of the year 📆 🧡

Anglicare WA stands firmly behind this year’s NRW theme, grounded in our belief that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility - expressed through both words and actions, and lived by standing up for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people every day.

We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing journey, one that reminds us that while generations of Australians have fought hard for meaningful change, the progress still ahead will require just as much, if not more, commitment.

AWA also understands our responsibility to consistently deepen our understanding, demonstrate our respect, and create more opportunities for Aboriginal people and communities to thrive.

There is still much work ahead, but our resolve remains unwavering as we continue striving for a more just and equitable Australia.

Stay tuned to see how we're ! 📹 📸

No amount of rain could stop this group of Eaton Community College students from celebrating their graduation from Dismantle Inc’s BikeRescue program! 🚲✨

Over a week they learned how to pull apart and rebuild two bikes each, one donated to charity, and one customised to keep.

This regional program is a hands‑on youth development initiative that empowers young people to build practical skills, confidence, teamwork and social connection. Over the course of the program, mentors work with participants, exploring their mental health, interests, passions and future career goals while guiding them through mechanical activities.

A huge shout‑out to South32 and the Shire of Dardanup for teaming up with Eaton Community College’s Student Wellbeing Officer, Sonja Hoctor, to bring this program to life! 👏
