Ngatanwarr/Welcome, I am the Independent Living Manager at Gunditjmara Aboriginal Cooperative. Gunditjmara is an independent community based not-for-profit Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation founded by a group of volunteers from the local indigenous community of the Victorian Southwest in 1979. Now providing a range of holistic community health and social support programs, principally to the Aboriginal community and other residents in Warrnambool and outlying areas. The principle of Aboriginal community control is what makes us strong and able to continue to provide much-needed culturally appropriate programs and services. The Independent Living team provides support to our Elders, people with a disability and their carers to stay connected to community, country, and culture. Our aim is to support healthier, happy, stronger lifestyles for our community.
