In 1994, January 26 was officially declared a national public holiday.

However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been protesting on this date since 1938, when the first Day of Mourning was held to draw attention to the violence, dispossession and inhumane conditions imposed upon Aboriginal communities.

There are many great resources that encourage us to learn about and reflect on what the day means.

Today is a day for listening, respect and kindness. If you need support, help is available:

This is an exciting step towards our Bunbury team's move into Foodbank WA's purpose built space, co-locating alongside the Financial Wellbeing Collective. The new facility will bring together food relief, youth mental health services, and financial counselling - all under one roof - to provide much-needed support for young people and families in the region.
