Thank you to everyone who attended our Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Your commitment, feedback and participation continue to strengthen our organisation and guide our future direction. This year’s AGM set a new benchmark for engagement, with a record number of members and observers in attendance. We are proud to highlight:
• New Members Information Management System was tested, and passed with flying colours
• Our facilitator, Danny Ford, did an outstanding job — thank you Danny
• WAEC supported resolution voting — smooth and seamless
• Financial statements presented — Auditor identified no matters, and Derbarl reported a surplus of $1.6m
• All Board Members were retained — an endorsement from our Members
• Annual Report delivered a clear and concise overview of FY23-24, with its design incorporating Noongar art
• A great lunch catered in-house by our own DYHS staff — thank you team
Following endorsement from our Members, we are now progressing a number of important actions and are committed to keeping the community updated as this work continues.
Key Actions Underway:
• Continuing work to locate the 2024 AGM attendance list and update Members
• Preparing a Life Membership resolution for the 2026 AGM
• Improving transparency by separately reporting Board-initiated legal expenses
• Providing a full update at the next AGM on the Research portfolio, including improvements made
• Developing a formal advocacy and lobbying approach to increase Government funding
• Consulting Members throughout the year on the future of the Bulwer Street land, ahead of a 2026 AGM resolution
Thank you once again to our Members for your guidance, trust and continued support.
Together, we’re building a stronger Derbarl for our community.
