SWALSC is undertaking a project to revitalise Working Party Meetings by contacting Working Party Family Representatives who are not attending Working Party Meetings regularly, so that we can understand why they are not able to attend and see if we can work together to increase the number of Representatives participating in the meetings.
Working Parties make important decisions about Native Title Future Acts and Culture and Heritage matters, and the new Standard Noongar Heritage Agreement has made their role in preserving Noongar heritage more important than ever.
As elected representatives of the Noongar families, Working Party Family Representatives play an important role in representing their family's voice in decision making, and sharing information about the decisions Working Parties make with their family and community networks. That is why it is important that Working Party Family Representatives attend Working Party meetings on a regular basis.
If you are a Working Party Family Representative who is finding it difficult to attend Working Party meetings, please phone SWALSC on 9358 7400 so we can work together to ensure your family is represented in the important work the Working Parties do on behalf of Noongar people.
