Women connecting through culture in Galiwin'ku

May 2026

The community-owned organisation applied for a grant to help support their community event. The funding enabled 45 Yolŋu women to celebrate, connect and share stories to strengthening community relationships and promoting women’s wellbeing. Over 100 people attended the successful event. Community Quick Response Grants can be used for stand-alone, one-off community or cultural events or purchase of goods and services to:

• Increase social and cultural connection, celebration and wellbeing.
• Strengthen connections to Country. ☑ Strengthen cultural practice, maintenance and preservation (including traditional language and passing on traditional knowledge).
• Increase or improve Aboriginal participation in sporting, recreational, artistic, musical, cultural, educational, or social and emotional wellbeing activities.

GWS’ programs are co-designed with Elders.
