On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Aunty Munya Andrews, Author, talking about her new book “Ask Aunty: Bush Survival Skills” by Aunty Munya with illustrations by Charmaine Ledden-Lewis. Ask Aunty: Bush Survival Skills is a delightful and educational picture book for children aged 5 to 10 years that introduces bush survival knowledge passed down by Bardi Elders through generations. In this book, Aunty Munya explains the three things you need to survive in the bush: water, food and shelter. Learn how to find water from waterholes or native wells, and protect them from contamination. Aunty Munya is an Elder from the Kimberley region of Western Australia and is the co-director of Evolve Communities, which specialises in cultural awareness training and ally accreditation.

Bronwen Clark, CEO of National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA), talking about the Alarming new data revealing government infrastructure investment not keeping up with population growth in QLD. Today, one in five Australians currently living in outer metro areas face inadequate access to schools, healthcare, third spaces, and other basic infrastructure. This issue is set to affect communities for generations, as new suburbs and population rises will see these areas house seven million people by 2031. New research by the National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) has found concerning infrastructure gaps across all capitals, with outer-metropolitan suburbs, known as Growth Areas, having significantly lower rates of access to healthcare (48%) and education (21%), as well as arts & culture (44%) and sports & leisure facilities (68%). Alarming, in Queensland the biggest deficits include a 53% gap in access to health care, a 68% gap in sports and leisure facilities and a 34.5% gap in access to arts and culture centres.
Associate Professor Nicole O’Rielly, Charles Darwin University (CDU) Head of School Allied Health Sciences, talking about CDU to expand allied health services in Darwin. Territorians will be able to access a greater variety of allied health services with the expansion of the Northern Territory’s first and only professionally supervised, student-delivered, multidisciplinary health centre. Charles Darwin University (CDU) has appointed its first clinical Allied Health Services Manager, Fiona Tipping, who will oversee the expansion of CDUs existing allied health services (psychology and exercise sports science) to include occupational therapy, social work, audiology, speech pathology and dietetics. Operating out of CDUs Health Hub in Casuarina, the Allied Health Services Manager will also develop the University’s allied health clinical placement offerings and support the continued growth of CDUs Outback Active Program.
