Dhiiyaan Mirri Bridging Cultures Unit
Dhiiyaan Mirri ensures we're committed to understanding and sharing the issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities, and that our programs are both safe and culturally responsive.
Dhiiyaan Mirri – Family of Stars
Established in early 2019, Dhiiyaan Mirri – which in Kamilaroi means Family of Stars – aims to ensure the organisation is actively meeting its responsibilities in honouring our First Nations Peoples as we work towards reconciliation and self-determination through knowledge, practice and by growing our partnerships with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in each State and Territory.
Aims and commitment
Dhiiyaan Mirri’s aim is to work with all OzChild teams, endeavouring to keep First Nations children and young people connected to their families, communities, cultures and country.
Through a dedicated team, Dhiiyaan Mirri will work across OzChild services, build partnerships and encourage participation, source and provide information and data relating to First Nations children and young people and seek to continuously improve the quality of programs and services through research and evaluation.
