The priority of the Foundation remains employing and empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander role models to build capacity within their own communities. The Foundation has expanded operations in 2018/19 with the growth of programs in the Perth Metropolitan area and Regional Western Australia. 103 staff are employed nationally. We are very proud that 76% of our staff are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Satellite offices now exist in East Victoria Park, Burswood, Armadale, Broome, Wickham, Leonora, Laverton, Kalgoorlie, Midland, Bunbury, Wiluna, Onslow and Victoria. 2019 saw the relocation of operations to our purpose-built community facility at Mineral Resources Park, Lathlain which was supported by Lotterywest, Commonwealth Government, West Coast Eagles and the Foundation itself. The Foundation delivers our suite of programs that increases school retention rates, facilitates opportunities for sustainable employment, decreases the rate of recidivism in offenders and young people and improves the health and wellbeing of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants. Current programs include the Deadly Sista Girlz ™ Program, Wirra Schools Remote Schools Attendance Strategy, Bunuru Youth Transition Program, Full Circle Partnership in the West Kimberley, the Plan 2day 4 2morrow ™ (P242) Employment program, Vocational Training and Employment Centre (VTEC), Transition to Work Program, ParentsNext, and ReSet Reintegration Services In 2018/2019 the Foundation expanded delivery of the Deadly Sista Girlz mentoring program which aims to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls to attend school, make healthy lifestyle choices and transition to the workforce. 2018/2019 also saw the commencement of the Community Development Program in the Yaaliku region which provides (pre)-employment support for remote job seekers inclusive of activities that meet mutual obligations to the Commonwealth. This program operates from three office locations in Leonora, Laverton and Wiluna. The Foundation held our Annual Fundraising Dinner in October 2019 to raise funds to assist in the operations and delivery of our programs. The event raised vital funds to ensure the ongoing financial viability of our programs and would not have been possible without the generous support of all those who attended and/or supported the evening. In closing, I would like to acknowledge and thank all sponsors and program partners for their contribution and support, particularly Lotterywest, the National Indigenous Australians Agency, Shell Australia, BHP, Department of Employment and the Western Australian State Government. The contributions received from other partners including; Clayton Utz, Deloitte, Hope Community Services, Stirling Skills Training, Communicare and West Coast Eagles Football Club are greatly appreciated and all are integral to the success of the Foundation and our programs. Alan Cransberg Chairman 1 CEO REPORT I am pleased to be presenting the 2018-2019 Annual Review and recapping what was another wonderful year for the Wirrpanda Foundation. This period was one of growth for the Foundation, expanding operations throughout both the Perth Metro Region and Regional Western Australia. Our staff has grown exponentially to support this rapid growth and we now employ 103 staff across Western Australian and Victoria, of which 76% are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Whilst unprecedented in its nature, this growth is a testament to the Foundation, our people and what we have been able to achieve over our 15 years of operation. The move to our new premises at Mineral Resources Park, supported by Lotterywest and the Federal Government was a highlight of 2019. To have a facility, purpose-built for the Foundation and our organisational needs has been an incredible opportunity and further supports the delivery of our education and employment programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Delivery continued across existing programs throughout the 2018/19 period including Plan 2day 4 2morrow ™ (P242) Employment program, Vocational Training and Employment Centre (VTEC), Transition to Work, ParentsNext, ReSet, Onslow Family Support and Wirra Schools RSAS. 2018/19 saw the expansion of Deadly Sista Girlz to an additional 5 sites, totalling 14 full-time delivery sites across Western Australia and Victoria. I couldn’t be prouder to see the development and growth of this program since its inception in 2010. Deadly Sista Girlz is designed and delivered by strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander role models, with 100% of program staff female and of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. Delivery of the Community Development Program (CDP) in the Yaaliku Region commenced in 2019. Servicing Leonora, Laverton, Wiluna, Mulga Queen and Menzies the CDP program supports job seekers in remote Australia to build skills, address barriers and contribute to their communities through a range of flexible activities which meet mutual obligations to the Commonwealth. It is designed around the unique social and labour market conditions in remote Australia. I would like to thank all our funders, donors, and partners, and make special mention of the National Indigenous Australians Agency, Shell Australia and BHP. Your support has allowed us to continue our unwavering commitment to empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and for that we extend our sincerest thanks. We now move towards consolidating what was a period of great growth for the Wirrpanda Foundation and look forward to another positive year in 2020 as we work to enable our First Australians to thrive.
