ABOUT THE TEAM
The Palyawanungku Palyantjaku Program sits within the Child and Family Wellbeing Service which is made up of three programs: Child Nutrition, Child and Family Intensive Support Service (Walytjapiti) and Child Advocacy.
The primary focus of the Child and Family Wellbeing Service (CFWS) is to deliver targeted, efficient and effective community services within the NPY region, seeking the best possible outcomes regarding improving the quality of life for Anangu children and communities.
The Palyawanungku Palyantjaku Program is focused on finding better ways to support Anangu children and families with many worries.

ABOUT YOU
You will have the ability to work with a high level of autonomy and an understanding of issues that affect the health and well-being of Aboriginal people in remote communities.
This is a unique chance to work for an organisation that takes a grassroots approach to community development. You will have the privilege of working closely alongside Anangu families and communities and get to experience an amazing landscape and part of the world. This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn about yourself, another culture and grow professionally at the same time.
