In recognition of NAIDOC Week 2020 Auspire – Australia Day Council WA presented Aboriginal Cultural Awareness and Understanding workshops. The sessions catered to over 100 participants over the course of the day, where they learned about the impact colonisation has had on aboriginal people and the ongoing affects of intergenerational trauma on the aboriginal community. 

In order for Auspire to continue to deliver quality events, forums and capacity building workshops, we will be required to record all in-person attendees at our events. We too will be using the safe WA system as it is the most efficient and safe way to record your contact details when you check-in, using the app.
