Our People. Our Stories.
‘All human beings belong to one race, the human race. Science tells us that our ancestors all came from Africa and that we were all originally people of colour. How cool is that!’

Promoting Oceania Languages
During Cultural Diversity Week, we ran an Oceania event everyday, including an interview with Pacific Leader, Pefi Kingi, about the importance of protecting and promoting our Indigenous Oceania languages.
Catch the whole interview on youtube or on our Anchor FM podcast.
Supporting Pacific Seasonal Workers
With the increase in Pacific seasonal workers arriving to support Australia’s agricultural sector, with it’s massive labour shortages.
To ensure Pacific workers had culturally appropriate health and safety information including wellbeing and injury resources, we partnered with WorkSAFE Victoria and developed fact sheets, videos and information in four Indigenous languages.
