  • The David Wirrpanda Foundation
    Submission 004 ‘INQUIRY INTO THE CONTRIBUTION OF SPORT TO INDIGENOUS WELLBEING AND MENTORING’ A SUBMISSION ON BEHALF OF THE DAVID WIRRPANDA FOUNDATION Submitted by Lisa Cunningham (CEO) Catherine Gurney (Grants Manager) Kodie Blay (Operations Manager) David Wirrpanda Foundation PO Box 508 Subiaco WA 6904 (08) 9242 6700 1 1 Submission 004 A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR “After years of doing community work, the David Wirrpanda Foundation is a formal way of recognizing the influence sport has on the lives of our children. The Foundation is a dream come true for me. I made my debut with the West Coast Eagles in Round 5 of the 1996 AFL Season, at the age of 16 years, and played in the 2006 premiership team. My first passion isn’t sport however, its community work in helping to improve the lives of young Indigenous Australians. But using sport as a magnet to attract our young Aboriginal people into positive activities to improve their education and wellbeing is an amazing tool that must be utilised. I hope you find this submission of assistance, and agree that sport has a a vastly significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people”. 2012 NAIDOC Person of the Year David Wirrpanda SUBMISSION SUMMARY - The David Wirrpanda Foundation was born from an idea our Director, David Wirrpanda, had to increase the retention and attendance of Aboriginal children in education. David, a former AFL premiership player, knew first hand how passionate his people were about sport, and how this can be used to attract Aboriginal people to positive programs.

  • Sas Resources Fund History 1996-2016
    SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 5 SAS RESOURCES FUND HISTORY 1996-2016 November 2016 SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 6 FOREWORD If there was one single glimmer of light to emerge from the ashes of the 1996 Blackhawk disaster, it would certainly be the creation of the Special Air Service Resources Fund. While the unit was understandably reeling from its worst ever loss, and rightfully focused on rebuilding the short notice Counter Terrorism capability that Australia relies upon it to provide, a selfless group of individuals coalesced, unprompted, and set about creating this amazing institution. In doing so, they reacted swiftly, decisively and generously; and have continued to ever since. The 20 years since the Blackhawk tragedy represents about a “generation” within the Special Air Service Regiment; the unit’s most senior soldiers today were young troopers or lance corporals back in 1996 when the accident occurred. Sadly, during that generation, almost every single member of the unit has experienced the loss of a friend in training or combat. But on each occasion, in the midst of their grief, our men and women have also seen the Fund immediately step into action. As a result, we have witnessed the children of our fallen mates grow up, being cared for by the Fund. No one can replace a lost father or husband but through its financial support and empathy, the Fund provides a backbone of solace in this darkest of situations. By virtue of this fact, every time our soldiers step forward into the breach, they do so confident in the knowledge that should they fall in the service of this country, the Fund has their back, and will continue to take care of that which is most precious to them.
