NINI Story Board

We support the Warawarni-gu Guma Statement.

Please scroll down to read the latest news updates, NINI information and access our online resources.

Trauma, grief and loss continue to be neglected as real problems affecting Indigenous people. NINI is addressing trauma, grief and loss through connecting to culture through the delivery of culturally safe healing and therapeutic services to improve social and emotional wellbeing. 

NINI Info

The board hope to see a brighter future in 2024/25 where we can increase our culturally safe service delivery to more Indigenous communities to Close the Gap. 

Expression of Interest – we are seeking Culturally Competent Counsellors, Cultural SEWB Navigators and experienced Facilitators. Please send your resume and up to date contact details to info@nini.au if you are interested in working with us.

The next board meeting will be in late October 2024.
