Today is National Close the Gap Day, a time to come together and support better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

13/02/2026

Today we acknowledge National Apology Day.

For our mob, this day carries deep meaning. The impacts of the Stolen Generations are not just history they are lived experiences that continue to affect our families, our children, and our communities today.

In 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered the National Apology. While those words mattered, the healing journey for our people continues.

We honour the strength and resilience of our Elders and survivors. We stand with our community in truth, healing, and the ongoing fight for justice.
🖤💛❤️

Thank You, Canobolas High School Year 10 Students.

A huge thank you to the Year 10 students at Canobolas High School for their kindness and generosity. As part of their project, the students put together dignity bags, sourcing essential toiletries and supplies for people in need.

These dignity bags have been generously donated to OLALC, and they will go directly to supporting our clients in the community. Your thoughtfulness, effort, and compassion will make a real difference to those who need it most.

We are so proud to see young people taking the initiative to give back and support others with dignity and care. Thank you to the students and staff involved for such a meaningful project.
