Uniting recently gathered with leaders across the human services sector to discuss the insights of the inaugural Uniting Families Report, and our 10-year partnership with UNSW. Setting the foundation for the event was Yvonne Weldon AM who provided a Welcome to Country and reminded us of the importance of our connections. At the event we heard from Tracey Burton CEO, Uniting NSW.ACT, Deborah Brennan AM Professor Emerita of the UNSW and Associate Commissioner for the Productivity Commission, Tamara Pararajasingham GM Impact and Innovation, Uniting NSW.ACT, Dr Megan Blaxland Senior Research Fellow, Social Policy Research Centre UNSW, Ilan Katz Professor, Social Policy Research Centre UNSW and Tamara Grant First Nations Service Delivery Lead, Uniting NSW.ACT who reflected on the significance of researching and understanding family experiences, and what it can mean for improved policy and outcomes for people in the community. "When you're yarning with a colleague, when you're talking at policy level, what might this actually mean when you think about the information that comes from the report?" - Tamara Grant, First Nations Service Delivery Lead, Uniting NSW.ACT The morning was a clear reminder of the strength and enthusiasm for collaboration in the sector, and we look forward to taking you on this 10-year journey with us. 👉 Explore the Uniting Families Report here: https://lnkd.in/gafdVSr3

During National Child Protection Week, listen to a teenager share the things he’d like you to think about when helping young people to feel safe and secure. “The most important thing an adult can do is say, ‘It’s okay’.” How are you supporting the young people in your life? Non-judgemental listening and conversation is a good place to start. 👂✍️❤️🩹🤗 #ncpw #ncpw24 #everyconversationmatters #weareuniting #unitingyouthservices #youthvoice

This Wound Awareness Week, we are shining an enormous spotlight on our ‘Wound Care Warriors’. 🙌 Uniting is proud of the 420 highly-trained nurses who work across our services, using their knowledge and skills to help reduce the significant physical, emotional and economic impact chronic wounds have on individuals, their families and the health care sector. "Chronic wounds can lead to prolonged hospital stays, severely reduced quality of life, mental health issues, enormous health care costs, amputations and even premature death," says Uniting Clinical Specialist Lead, Hayley Ryan. "Through our online learning system, collaborations with Monash University and participation in scholarship programs to gain Master's Degrees, Uniting has created a dedicated team of highly trained professionals providing the highest quality of care to all." A heartfelt 'thank you' to all our ‘wound Care Warriors’. 🤩 #WeAreUniting #WoundCare #WoundcareWarriors #nurse #nursing #care #carer #agedcare #help #career

Census data has been hot in the media this week, with public debate on whether questions of sexuality, gender identity and variations of sex characteristics should be included in the 2026 Census. Why is this important? Policies and programs of support for people in our society rely on publicly collected data to understand who is in the community, where they live and what they might need. To be seen and valued in policy, people need to be seen in all their richness and complexity. Which is why the LGBTQI+ community has been campaigning for the inclusion of questions of sexuality, sex and gender to be included in the Census, the largest and most significant statistical event in Australia. This is also why Uniting’s recently launched Families Report is important. As we begin a ten-year exploration of Australian families raising children, fostering dialogue and action, our commitment to disrupting entrenched disadvantage is unwavering. 👉 Read the Uniting Families Report here: https://lnkd.in/gafdVSr3

Happy Wear It Purple Day! 💜 This year's theme celebrates rainbow youth expressing themselves through their passions - whether that's sport, science, art or something else altogether. Our Pride Network has shared some of the people that inspired them in their youth, and made living out and proud seem possible. 🏳️🌈 We want to see LGBTQIA+ role models across all walks of life. Wear It Purple Day is about creating safe, supportive and inclusive environments that empower rainbow youth. Be part of the solution. Co-create spaces for LGBTIQ+ youth to feel empowered and take ownership of their stories and share their experiences, enabling them to feel safe and like they belong. 🌈 #pridenetwork #wearitpurple #WIP2024 #rainbowyouth
