On Darkinjung Country, we pause to honour the hands and hearts that built EDAS — our Elders, families, and community.

Thirty years on, their wisdom still lights our path. We have walked through challenge and change, keeping culture, care, and connection at the centre. Today, new voices are rising, strong, hopeful, and ready to shape what comes next. Together, we imagine healthier futures for our children and grandchildren, grounded in Country and guided by community.

Honouring our Past, inspiring our Future… the next chapter begins—with all of us.

Her Story, Our Strength — World AIDS Day

“I’ve lived with HIV for 35 years. I speak up because I don’t want our mob left behind.”
— Michelle Tobin

Michelle is the only publicly positive Aboriginal woman advocating across the country.
A mother, grandmother, and descendant of the Stolen Generation, she’s walked this path so others don’t have to walk alone.

Today, on World AIDS Day, we share some of the truths Michelle wants our community to know:

✨ Many Aboriginal people are diagnosed late — and it can make them very sick.
✨ Confidentiality fears can stop mob from going to AMSs.
✨ Women are often left out of HIV education.
✨ Treatment works — and long-acting injectables now offer 2–6 month dosing.
✨ Being undetectable means you can’t pass it on.
✨ You can still have healthy babies.
✨ Community support changes lives.

Let’s keep the conversations going.
Let’s keep looking after our mob.
Let’s make sure no one is left behind.

We invite you to remember and celebrate the life of Cyril Sampson, known to many with love and respect as Pop.

For those who cannot travel to Caroona for his funeral, we will gather at the place he loved — barayi Garden — to share stories, offer our respect, and stand with his family in this time of sorrow and remembrance.

This will be a gentle time for yarning, remembering Pop’s spirit, and acknowledging the deep connections he held with community.

You are welcome to bring a memory, a photo, or something small to place in honour of Pop.

📅 When: Tuesday, 2nd Dec
🕙 Time: 1pm
📍barayi Garden- Eleanor Duncan Aboriginal Services- 35 McPherson rd Mardi.

This fortnight’s group is extra special — it’s our last Women’s Group for the year, and we’re finishing with a fun and relaxing day of barefoot bowls!

Barefoot bowls is an easy-going, social version of lawn bowls where you kick off your shoes, enjoy the fresh air, and simply roll bowls towards a small white ball (the “jack”). It’s fun, relaxed, beginner-friendly, and perfect for sharing laughs with our sisters.

• Your beautiful self and a smile!

Today we helped launched the Kindness Pantry at 25 Moala Pde, Charmhaven. A shared space filled with essential non-perishable items, wrapped in artwork that reflects the important connection to family, elders, children, and Country.

It was powerful to see everyone come out to support those doing it tough in our community.

The spirit behind it is simple and strong:
Take what you need. Give what you can.

A reminder that when we come together, no one is left behind.
