QUESTION, ANSWERED
Common questions.
Who can attend your open enrolment programs?
It depends on the program. Gumnut Parenting is for Aboriginal parents and carers. Cross Culture; Cross Oceans is for Aboriginal young people aged 22-30. Each program lists its eligibility on the card above or on the program page.
How much do programs cost?
Community programs are usually free or low-cost (funded by partners or donations). Sector training has a per-participant fee. Commissioned programs are scoped to project. The cost is listed on each program card.
Can you bring a program to our community?
Yes. Most of our programs can be deivered on Country, in your community, or at your organisation. Get int ouch through the 'Book a Discovery Yarn' page and we'll scope what's possible.
We don't see what we need. Can you build something new for us?
Always. Most of the programs you see here started a community asking for something we hadn't built yet. Book a discovery yarn and we'll explore what's needed.
Are programs delivered by Aboriginal people?
Yes. All our cultural programs are designed and delivered by Aboriginal practitioners, often in partnership with Elders and knowledge holders from the community we're working with.
Can our funder pay directly?
Absolutely. We invoice funders directly for sponsored places, commissioned delivery, or sector training. We've worked with government, philanthropic, and corporate funders. Get in touch and we'll sort it.
