Leading the way

Our Swan Hill office has moved from the Mallee Rising office on Campbell St to a temporary tenancy at the Swan Hill Medical Group building, which is located at 54-56 McCrae St.

During this time, we ask that community members please make an appointment to see a staff member, by calling our toll free number, 1300 488 266.

We expect our permanent Swan Hill office – located at 215 Campbell St – will be open to the public in late May (we’ll be providing updates on an opening date on our Facebook page and website).

Thank you for your patience during this time and we apologise for any inconvenience our change of office may have caused.

We’re inviting community members to join with our staff in launching our Intereach Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan 2018 to 2020.

The launch of the plan is the culmination of 12 months’ work from our Executive and Community Engagement and Capacity Development teams, working in partnership with Reconciliation Australia.

Reconciliation Australia was established in 2001 and is the lead body for reconciliation in the nation.
“We share Reconciliation Australia’s vision of national reconciliation, which is based on five critical dimensions: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity and historical acceptance,” Intereach CEO Keryn Fox said.

The launch is being held in a children-friendly space at the Intereach Family Centre in Trickett St, Deniliquin on Monday, April 29 from 11.30am-1.30pm and will include a Welcome to Country, keynote speakers, and a free barbecue ‘bush tucker’ lunch and refreshments.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact our Community Engagement and Capacity Development Project Officer Guy Hussey on 1300 488 226, 0418 649 190 or guyh@intereach.com.au. RSVP closing date is April 24.

This is our second Reconciliation Action Plan, following on from the 2015 to 2017 plan which aimed to develop staff capacity in working with Aboriginal communities throughout the local area. The 2018 to 2020 plan continues with strengthening staff development but also focuses on developing existing community strengths about reconciliation in partnership with Aboriginal communities.

Our Wagga office at 20 Peter St will be closed for renovations from Monday, April 29.

At this stage it’s expected the office will be closed for four weeks, reopening Monday, May 27 (we will be providing updates on our Facebook page and website if there are changes to this timeline).

During this time we ask that you please call the Intereach phone number 1300 488 226 to make an appointment.
Staff will be available by appointment only, at a temporary office.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
