  • Northern Territory Government Response to the Joint Standing Committee on Migration – Inquiry Into Migrant Settlement Outcomes
    Northern Territory Government Response to the Joint Standing Committee on Migration – Inquiry into Migrant Settlement outcomes. Introduction: The Northern Territory Government is responding to an invitation from the Joint Standing Committee on Migration’s inquiry into migrant settlement outcomes. The Northern Territory Government agencies will continue to support migrants, including humanitarian entrants through health, education, housing and interpreting and translating services and programs. The Northern Territory Government acknowledges the important role all migrants play in our society and recognises the benefits of effective programs and services for enhanced settlement outcomes. The following information provides details on these programs that support the settlement of the Northern Territory’s migrant community. 1. Northern Territory Government support programs for Humanitarian Entrants Department of Health The Northern Territory Primary Health Network was funded by the Department of Health to undertake a review of the Refugee Health Program in the Northern Territory. The review informed strategic planning and development of the Refugee Health Program in the Northern Territory prior to the development of a tender for provision of these services. The primary objectives of the Program were to ensure: increased value for money; culturally safe and appropriate services; greater coordination across all refugee service providers; clinically sound services; improved health literacy for refugees; and flexibility around ebbs and flows

    Department of Health and Families Central Australia Regional Plan 2010-2012 2012 - 2010 www.healthyterritory.nt.gov.au Northern Territory Central Region DARWIN NHULUNBUY KATHERINE TENNANT CREEK Central Australia ALICE SPRINGS 3 Central Australia Regional Plan In 2009, former Chief Executive of the Department of Health and Families (DHF), Dr David Ashbridge, launched the Department of Health and Families Corporate Plan 2009–2012. He presented the Corporate Plan to Department staff, key Government and political representatives, associated non-government organisations, Aboriginal Medical Services and peak bodies. The Central Australia Regional Plan is informed by the Corporate Plan and has brought together program activities that reflect the Department’s services that are provided in the region, and expected outcomes from these activities. Thanks go to the local staff for their input and support in developing this Plan. 4 Central Australia Regional Overview In the very heart of the nation is the Central Australia Region, covering some 830,000 square kilometres. Encompassing the Simpson and Tanami Deserts and Barkly Tablelands, Central Australia shares borders with South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. The Central Australia Region has a population of 46,315, of which 44 per cent identify as Indigenous Australians (2007). 1 Approximately 32,600 people live in the three largest centres of Alice Springs (28,000), Tennant Creek (3,000) and Yulara (1,600). The remainder of the population reside in the 45 remote communities and out-stations. Territory 2030, the Northern Territory Government’s plan for the future, identifies 20 Growth Towns, five of which are in Central Australia – Elliott, Ali Curung, Yuendumu, Ntaria (Hermannsburg) and Papunya.

  • Meteoritics and Cosmology Among the Aboriginal Cultures of Central Australia
    Journal of Cosmology, Volume 13, pp. 3743-3753 (2011) Meteoritics and Cosmology Among the Aboriginal Cultures of Central Australia Duane W. Hamacher Department of Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University, NSW, 2109, Australia [email protected] Abstract The night sky played an important role in the social structure, oral traditions, and cosmology of the Arrernte and Luritja Aboriginal cultures of Central Australia. A component of this cosmology relates to meteors, meteorites, and impact craters. This paper discusses the role of meteoritic phenomena in Arrernte and Luritja cosmology, showing not only that these groups incorporated this phenomenon in their cultural traditions, but that their oral traditions regarding the relationship between meteors, meteorites and impact structures suggests the Arrernte and Luritja understood that they are directly related. Note to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Readers This paper contains the names of, and references to, people that have passed away and references the book “Nomads of the Australian Desert” by Charles P. Mountford (1976), which was banned for sale in the Northern Territory as it contained secret information about the Pitjantjatjara. No information from the Pitjantjatjara in that book is contained in this paper. 1.0 Introduction Creation stories are the core of cosmological knowledge of cultures around the globe. To most groups of people, the origins of the land, sea, sky, flora, fauna, and people are formed by various mechanisms from deities or beings at some point in the distant past. Among the more than 400 Aboriginal language groups of Australia (Walsh, 1991) that have inhabited the continent for at least 45,000 years (O’Connell & Allen, 2004) thread strong oral traditions that describe the origins of the world, the people, and the laws and social structure on which the community is founded, commonly referred to as “The Dreaming” (Dean, 1996).
