Community health organisations in the region came together last week in Portland, to strengthen the connection between indigenous communities in the South West.

Indigenous Elders, community members converged for the first ‘meeting of the mobs’ event, in a combined effort from local organisations Dhauwurd-Wurrung Elderly & Community Health Service (DWECHS) and Winda-Mara Aboriginal Corporation (which also operates out of Hamilton) along with Gunditjmara Aboriginal Cooperative in Warrnambool and Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative from the Wimmera.
