Tomorrow marks the start of National Reconciliation Week, a time for all Australians to reflect, learn and take action towards a more united future, grounded in respect, understanding and our shared histories.

Today, we also recognise National Sorry Day and acknowledge the ongoing impact of forced removal on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities.

At Ngala, our Ngalang Moort Ngalang Kurlangah program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families with young children aged 0 to 4 years, creating culturally safe spaces where children can play, learn and thrive.

Delivered by Aboriginal staff for families in the City of Swan, the program also offers workshops, home visits and connections to other services.

In this video, our team member Mystique shares what reconciliation means to her and how Ngalang Moort Ngalang Kurlangah will be recognising the week with children and families in their playgroups.

We will also be sharing more updates throughout the week on other events and activities we are proud to be part of.

How good does our new Acknowledgement of Country artwork look?

We worked with Nani Creative and their talented local artists, with cultural input from our internal Aboriginal Advisory Group, to create this bespoke piece of art that helps explain the meaning of Ngala in a contemporary and eye-catching way.

We're proud of it, and proud of the steps we are taking to make our spaces culturally safe and welcoming for all families.

Developed by Nani Creative in collaboration with Ngala and First Nations artists Kieron Pearce (Menang/Noongar) and Kevin Wilson (Wongutha).

Challenges settling your newborn? These methods are a great place to start as they mimic the warmth, comfort and safety of the womb. They've been known to work across other age groups too…including us adults!

When we take calls on our Parenting Line we're never quite sure what support the caller will need, which means some calls can take 5 minutes and others can take an hour. We'll never cut a call short if a parent needs us.

It does mean call wait times can be a little unpredictable so we want to just remind everyone you can fill out a form on our website and have our team call you back. We call everyone back as soon as we possibly can - it's a good option if sitting on hold isn't possible.

Ngala’s Incredible Years Program recently partnered with the City of Cockburn to explore delivering an Intergenerational Playgroup, recognising the mutual benefits for seniors, parents, and their babies. Intergenerational playgroups create a shared space that values both older adults and young families while improving social connection, emotional wellbeing, and community engagement.

The initial trial was a wonderful success, bringing together 10 seniors and 8 mothers with their babies in a warm and welcoming environment. Highlights included conversations about raising children, seniors singing along to familiar nursery rhymes, and positive interactions between seniors and babies through play, smiles, and cuddles.

The response has been incredibly positive and highlights the value of this initiative and the opportunity to see it grow.
