Nyarrn-gakgo Mangkie Program


what the name means

Nyarrn-gakgo mangkie means ‘hear within’ in the Woi Wurrung language of the Wurundjeri Peoples of the Kulin Nation


significance

We come together in a safe environment to hear and understand other womxns’ stories.

We are supported by community and Ancestors to listen to our own voice; to reflect.

We move forward on our journey into a health career with new information, confidence, cultural
knowledge and strength in our identity.



Artwork: Balance by Shawana Andrews

Balance across time, place and people through relationships, respect, reciprocity and responsibility.
