Where we are up to
The East Gippsland Collaborative Impact Project (Doombook) aims to develop culturally informed diversion and early intervention strategies for the Aboriginal communities of Orbost, Cann River, and surrounds.
A four-year funding arrangement has been established to support Moogji Aboriginal Council to deliver the project.
Although COVID-19 has impacted project delivery, a Project Worker has been recruited and commenced working to establish governance and reporting processes, secure local grants, and network with local agencies and services to raise awareness of the project in East Gippsland.
