Jill Wrathall (BA staff member and experienced foster carer) and Kim Backhouse, our new Volunteer Co-ordinator at the BA Christmas party in December 2020

We are very lucky to have these two fabulous women in our corner. Jill Wrathall is one of our Out of Home Care Managers. Jill also coordinates our volunteer program, is also an experienced foster carer and a hive of knowledge!

Kim Backhouse is our new Volunteer Co-ordinator. This is a new role with us, which will see Kim use her local knowledge and leadership skills to organise and oversee our volunteers as part of the Burdekin Volunteer Program. We truly believe that our volunteers play a vital role in our work, we couldn’t do it without them. Keep your eyes peeled for updates now we have Kim on board! More information can be found on our Volunteer page.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people of the Cadigal and Gayamaygal Clans. We acknowledge the Country on which we live, work, and gather as being Aboriginal land.

We acknowledge the lands, waterways and skies that are connected to Aboriginal people. We honour them and pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We respect their rightful place within our communities, and we value their ancient cultural knowledge and practices.

We deeply respect that this will always be Aboriginal land and we will honour and follow the first peoples’ values in caring for the Country and for preserving their culture.

We deeply value that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the oldest living culture in the world and we will continue to work with their peoples and communities to ensure their cultures endure and remain strong.
