Maranguka

Maranguka Maranguka was established by a grassroots coalition of concerned local Aboriginal residents who wanted to see positive change in their community.

Maranguka is working to improve outcomes and creating better coordinated support for vulnerable families and children through the true empowerment of the local Aboriginal community. The Bourke community created a new way of doing community business called the Maranguka Initiative, meaning ‘caring for others’ in Ngemba language. Maranguka empowers community to coordinate the right mix and timing of

services through an Aboriginal community owned and led, multi-disciplinary team working in partnership with relevant government and non-government agencies.

You don't have to tell us if you are coming, but it will help us if you do. We can make sure there:
- is enough space, tea and coffee for everyone.
- are supports and reasonable adjustments if you need them.

Why are we holding these session?

We want to make sure people with disability get to have a say in the services that support them in western NSW. We want to hear about:
✅ what is working well,
✅ what is not working, and
✅ where things could be better.

We want to better meet the needs of people with disabilities in western NSW, by:
✅ making our health services easier to access, more welcoming and inclusive.
✅ listening and communicating better with people with disability, their families and carers.
✅ being a good employer of people with disability.

The new Disability Strategy will describe how we will work to achieve these things.
