Our Own Well Being - Elders Health Project

Koorie Women Mean Business Incorporated (KWMB), were successful in receiving funds for the International Year of the Older person. KWMB met with representatives from the Goulburn Valley Aboriginal Elders Group to discuss program development and support. We also met with the CEO and board members of Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative to outline the program. They currently run a HACC program on site and we entered an agreement to cover the cost of hall and bus hire for the program participants.

When KWMB and the GV Aboriginal Elders Group entered the program we knew that it would be beneficial to the communities elders what we did not predict was the Aboriginal and wider communities reaction. The reaction was encouraging and overwhelming support to see them out and about.
