The Healing Foundation supports culturally strong, locally run Indigenous healing programs
around Australia and funds education and research on Indigenous healing. These programs
grow our kids strong, support members of the Stolen Generations, assists communities to
build cultural strength and skill up workers.
Our Stolen Generations initiative incorporates all aspects of Healing Foundation work
including training and education, healing programs and research. The priorities of this
initiative are guided by a reference committee.
This initiative is very important to the Healing Foundation. It creates opportunities for us to
work with national Stolen Generations representative bodies and Stolen Generations
organisations throughout Australia on development of a healing agenda.
The Committee has recognised the lack of gender balance in its membership and the
important place of men’s healing. We are seeking two male members to assist the
Committee ensure an appropriate focus on men’s healing. Stolen Generations members and
men who work in supporting Stolen Generations members and healing are encouraged to
apply.
The Healing Foundation looks forward to receiving your application.
Attached is the expression of interest form. If you have any queries
about filling it out please ring the Healing Foundation’s Programs
Team on 02 6124 4400.

July/August 2013.
