Working with the Cairns chapter of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) was a great experience. There were many experiences shared and new insights gained into working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the mental health context. It was particularly interesting to observe the extent to which this profession is adapting in order to engage effectively with the indigenous stakeholder group. It is encouraging to see an organisation striving to actually effectively implement its Reconciliation Action Plan. Well done APS … looking forward to working with you again.

Leading Practice is establishing a new relationship with Aronel Pty Ltd and the Australian Psychological Society. This is a great opportunity to share knowledge and experience about effective engagement with Indigenous stakeholders.

The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (or CIAF) has kicked off here in Cairns. Best wishes and best of luck to all the indigenous artists participating this year. Its already shaping up to be a fantastic event.

Leading Practice Multi-Disciplinary Services is now up and running. I’ve been looking forward to this day for a very long time! I’m just as keen to establish some new partnerships with different people, groups and interests so drop me a line if you want to chat or ask any more questions about what we’re about. I’ll be working on some answers to frequently asked questions in areas such as native title, organisational functionality, and leadership. I’ll also be posting about views and news in the area of indigenous leadership. So, again, feel free to drop me a line.
