Country Connect Partnerships
Djalkiri Foundation
In 2023 we formalised a partnership that had existed informally since our beginnings as an organisation.
The partnership between Djalkiri Foundation and Country Connect will support both organisations to develop their staff capacity to achieve their strategic goals in the region:
Develop the capacity of Yolŋu staff at Djalkiri and Country Connect to advocate for culturally responsive environments for clients and staff
Develop the capacity of non-local Country Connect staff to understand the community context and the unique needs of Yolŋu clients
Create a culture of professional learning and build self-reflective workplace practices across both organisations
Support staff in both organisations to identify professional goals and develop action plans to progress these
Support organisational leadership development (i.e the implementation of strategy into practice in a Yolŋu context)
Country Connect are extremely grateful to be recipients of the Woolworths Food Diversion program. The food that Woolworths supply us reaches remote communities like Glaiwin’ku, Nhulunbuy, Laynhapuy Homelands and Ramingining.
This allows us to support our clients and their families in ways that other funding may not allow.
It is also allows us to support communities during significant ceremonies and funerals.
