Break Thru NAIDOC Week Celebrations – Townsville

Townsville celebrated it's official NAIDOC event last Friday in the grounds of the Riverway complex next to the city's main waterway, the Ross River. Break Thru's Get Set for Work and Job Services Australia were both represented with a stall amongst many other community-based service providers.

The Wulugurukaba Dancers are one of Townsville's premier Aboriginal dance groups and they put on a resounding performance on the main stage along with other local Indigenous acts.

The highlight for us was the goodwill shown by all who visited us on the day - past clients, current clients, parents of our clients, other network providers, members of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community who wanted to know more about our services - many also asked after our Indigenous staff members, highlighting the important role that Indigenous staff members of Break Thru have in strengthening connections to community.
