We Support Women Through Vocational Training and Into Employment

During our recent Team Day in Shepparton, we had the privilege of visiting the Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence on Yorta Yorta Country. Munarra`s striking design draws inspiration from the Aboriginal flag, symbolising identity, strength and self-determination and honours the rich history and stories of the local community.

Over lunch, CEO Ange Burt generously shared the story behind Munarra, its vision for the future, and the opportunities being created for First Nations people across Greater Shepparton. Her passion, leadership and commitment to community left a lasting impression on our team.

We are grateful for the warm welcome and the opportunity to learn more about the important work being led by Ange and the Munarra team. We look forward to exploring ways we can collaborate and create positive education and employment outcomes together in the future.

💜 Thank you, Ange and the Munarra team, for sharing your vision and journey with us.
