Stand with Yolŋu families. Call on the Australian Government to act.

Join us in urging the Australian Government to invest in Birthing on Country services in Galiwin’ku—so Yolŋu women and families can once again give birth on Country, in culture, and in safety.

By writing to your elected representatives, you are calling on them to work in genuine partnership with Yolŋu leaders and the Aboriginal community-owned Djäkamirr Co-op Ltd to:

  • Commit funding for the establishment of a Yolŋu Birthing and Healing Centre on Galiwin’ku, and

  • Invest in the Djäkamirr workforce and training program, ensuring long-term, culturally safe and community-led care.

This is about more than health services. It is about self-determination, cultural continuity, and giving future generations the strongest possible start in life.

The future is born from the stories—and the commitments—we choose to carry forward.
