Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

Indigenous people have had to deal with so much - displacement, loss of land and culture. By providing them with employment within their land we give back much. Employment, land and belonging are all aspects that are important to the social determinants of health. If we want to decrease the gap amongst health in Australia (ie a 20 year disparity between life expectancy), this program goes a long way to addressing that.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
