Melbourne-Dreaming-Intro 1.Pdf (Pdf, 1.91
ABOUT THIS BOOK Melbourne Dreaming is both a guide book and social history of Melbourne, and the events and cultural traditions that have shaped local Aboriginal people’s lives. It aims to show where to look to gain a better understanding of the rich heritage and complex culture of Aboriginal people in Melbourne both before and since colonisation. It was first published in 1997. This is a completely updated and expanded edition. Melbourne Dreaming provides practical information on visiting both historical and contemporary sites located in the city centre, surrounding suburbs and outer areas. Arranged into seven precincts, Melbourne Dreaming takes you to beaches, parklands, camping places, historical sites, exhibitions, cultural displays and buildings. For Melbourne’s Aboriginal people the landscape prior to European settlement over which we travel was the face of the divine — the imprint of the ancestral creation beings that shaped the landscape on their epic journeys. Exploring Melbourne’s Aboriginal places is a way of paying respect to this sacred tradition while learning more about our shared and ancient history. Sites include locations and traces of important places before European settlement in 1835 such as shell middens, scarred trees, wells, fish traps, mounds and quarries. Other sites describe critical events that occurred because of the impact of European settlement. More recent places are the focus of contemporary life. What these places share in common is that each illustrates an important part of the overall story of the first inhabitants, the Kulin. Stories and photographs of some places of interest which have restricted access or cannot be visited have also been included. -
Aboriginal Reconciliation Action Plan 2017–19 Summary
Aboriginal Reconciliation Action Plan 2017–19 Summary Cover art: Jarra Karalinar Steel, Boon Wurrung Alfred Health uses the term ‘Aboriginal’ to mean both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander throughout this document Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are warned that this document may contain images and names of deceased people. Message from our Chief Executive I am delighted to present Alfred Health’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP): a living and practical plan built around strong relationships, respect and pride in our local Aboriginal community and the potential for employment and business opportunities. This plan is something of a watershed in our relationship with our Aboriginal community. It recognises that we need to do better in providing care for our Aboriginal patients and commits us to a journey to achieve greater equality in healthcare for our first peoples. Already it has been a two-year journey in developing this plan and along the way we have learnt much about what reconciliation means to us and the importance of meaningful and respectful relationships. Thanks must go to the many people involved in creating this plan, particularly to local elder Caroline Briggs, The Boon Wurrung Foundation, and Reconciliation Australia who have supported and guided us through this process. More about our plan The vision for reconciliation is for all Australians to be equal, to have equal opportunities and for there to be trust as we move forward in a shared vision for our country. I sincerely hope that this plan This plan is a summary of and the energy and commitment of our Alfred Health staff will contribute to achieving this vision. -

Report to the Future Melbourne (Aboriginal City) Committee Agenda Item 6.3
Page 1 of 23 Report to the Future Melbourne (Aboriginal City) Committee Agenda item 6.3 Endorsement of Draft Reconciliation Action Plan 2020-23 for Community 4 August 2020 Consultation Presenter: Hans Bokelund , Director Aboriginal Melbourne Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the City of Melbourne’s (CoM) draft (Innovate) Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2020–23 for broader community consultation (refer Attachment 2). 2. The draft RAP has been developed in response to Council’s 2019-20 Annual Plan initiative ‘API 9.2: Finalise the Reconciliation Action Plan and Aboriginal Melbourne Action Plan, and commence delivery’. 3. The RAP framework is prescribed by Reconciliation Australia. This draft RAP is framed at the ’Innovate’ (second) level of Reconciliation Australia’s four tier RAP framework. An ’Innovate’ RAP will further enable Council to build long-term outcomes and trial approaches that build relationships, show respect and improve opportunities for reconciliation. 4. Forty Australian local government authorities currently have RAPs at various levels: eight at ‘Reflect’ level, 21 at ‘Innovate’ and 11 at ‘Stretch’. No local government authority has an ‘Elevate’ level Reconciliation Action Plan. 5. Following public community engagement, the final Innovate RAP is scheduled to be presented to Council for endorsement on 24 November 2020. Key issues 6. CoM’s draft RAP recognises a need to build internal cultural capabilities to create sustainable organisational change, and strengthen our relationships with Traditional Owners, Aboriginal community controlled organisations, and the broader Aboriginal community to reach our reconciliation aspirations. The RAP is strengthened by the inclusion of deliverables which respond to Goal 9: A City with an Aboriginal Focus (formerly included in the draft Aboriginal Melbourne Action Plan). -

Thirty-two new members (individuals or families) joined during 2017. This is an excellent result. Peter Dibbs, a long-time member, kindly took over the membership officer role in 2017. Towards the end of the year, another long-time member, and snorkel leader, Amy Stace-Smith, took over this role and plans to continue in 2018. Thanks to them both for this work. A couple of changes to the system this year has resulted in more members paying their annual dues on time. Firstly, Peter reminded members early in 2017 that they had dues outstanding, and secondly, the Treasurer Kim Wright emailed all members in November reminding them that 2018 fees were due by 31 January 2018. These changes meant that members have paid dues promptly, and mainly through our direct deposit system, which is much easier for our Treasurer. -
