Thirrili was proud to be part of this year’s Yandarra Festival, hosted by Riverina Medical and Dental Aboriginal Corporation (RivMed) in Wagga Wagga.
“Yandarra” means Coming Together in Wiradjuri — and that’s exactly what the day was about: celebrating families, culture, and connection through community stalls, rides, performances, and good yarns about health and wellbeing.
Our NSW team also took the opportunity to travel through the Central West, visiting with key stakeholders in Orange and Lithgow to strengthen relationships and promote Thirrili’s postvention support services.
• We were warmly welcomed by the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service, and
• Lithgow Aboriginal Mental Health.
Thank you both for the important work you do in community.
A big thank you to the organisers of Yandarra Festival, to everyone who stopped by our stall, and to special guests Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker, and Jack Wighton for their inspiring messages about community wellbeing.
✨ Together, we’re building safer, stronger, and more connected communities.
