1. I refer the Member to the statement on the Hansard from 12 September 2017:
Clients will participate in yarning circles with local elders and other role models to talk about local culture both in the past and in the present. Through these circles elders will be able to engage with the clients and reinvigorate local cultural protocols and promote healing.
2. The role of the Elders is supporting the clients engaged in the Centre’s programs. The day-to-day running of the NBHF is managed by ACT Health staff.
3. Elders as well as other role models and volunteers will be present at the NBHF as required by the daily NBHF program.
