West Ballina Child and Family Centre, Jarjum Bugal Nah, is a special place of importance in the local Aboriginal community; we support our community to raise healthy and culturally strong jarjums.
Learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and contributions is respectfully embedded throughout the educational program. We actively promote cultural identity, Bundjalung language and connection to Country.
We commit to celebrating the diversity in our community and work to unite our local area in the journey towards reconciliation.
