SUPPORTING FAMILIES, ENDING VIOLENCE: DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE SUPPORT INITIATIVE

We're proud to share the success of our recent Domestic and Family Violence Support Day, held in partnership with Fairfield City Police NSW on the 11th June, 2026. The day brought together women and men from many different cultural backgrounds and language groups, all with one shared goal: understanding how to seek help and support when it's needed most.

Fairfield City Police joined us to deliver an informative talk covering:

How to be supported if experiencing domestic or family violence
Where to go for help, including local services and points of contact
Relevant resources available to individuals and families in our community

The session was delivered in a clear, approachable way, giving attendees the chance to ask questions and better understand the support systems available to them.

One of the most encouraging aspects of the day was the diversity of attendees. Women and men from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds came together, many hearing this information for the first time in a setting that felt safe and welcoming. For a topic that can often feel difficult to discuss, it was heartening to see so many community members leave feeling more confident and informed about their options.

Domestic and family violence can affect anyone, regardless of background, language, or culture. Language and cultural barriers can often make it harder for people to know where to turn for help. Days like this help break down those barriers by connecting community members directly with trusted local services and the people who can support them.

A big thank you to Fairfield City Police NSW for their partnership and for delivering such an important and informative session, and to everyone in our community who attended and engaged so openly. Events like this only work because of the trust and openness of the people who take part.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence, support is available. You don't have to face it alone — reach out to local services, community organisations, or emergency services if you are in immediate danger.

We look forward to continuing this important partnership with Fairfield City Police and building on the momentum from this event in the future.

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR CARERS CARING FOR PARENTS WITH DEMENTIA AND WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR OLDER AUSTRALIANS

We're proud to share that our six-week Mental Health and Wellness Program from the 24th April - 28th May, 2026 has come to a close, and what a fantastic turnout it was! Over the past six weeks, older Australians from across our community came together each week to look after both their minds and their bodies.

Each week followed the same simple but powerful format:

A mental health support talk, covering topics relevant to older Australians and their families
A guided fitness session, giving participants a chance to move, stretch, and stay active in a supportive group setting

By pairing conversation with movement, the program gave participants practical tools they could take home and use straight away.

Over the six sessions, attendees explored a range of important topics, including:

Looking after their own mental health — recognising signs of stress, anxiety, or low mood, and simple strategies to manage them day to day
Supporting a loved one with dementia — practical guidance for carers on communication, patience, and self-care while caring for someone else
Improving personal health and wellbeing — building sustainable habits around movement, nutrition, and social connection

The program brought together a warm and engaged group of older Australians, many of whom came back week after week to learn, connect, and support one another. It was heartening to see how much participants opened up, shared their own experiences, and formed new friendships along the way.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part, to our speakers, and to our fitness facilitators for making this program such a success.

Given the positive response, we're already looking at ways to bring similar programs back in the future. If you'd like to stay in the loop about upcoming sessions, get in touch or keep an eye on our website for updates.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — here's to continuing the conversation around mental health and wellbeing in our community!

OLDER AUSTRALIANS LEARN DIGITAL SKILLS AT WHITLAM LIBRARY CABRAMATTA

On 19 and 26 March 2026, All Nations Group (ANG) was proud to partner with Good Things Australia to deliver two in-depth Digital Skills Sessions to older Australians in the Fairfield City Council Community, and what a great success it was!

We hired laptops and brought together a group of older community members for a hands-on session covering everything from navigating the internet to staying safe from online scams.

For many attendees, it was their first real experience using a laptop — and watching that initial hesitation transform into genuine confidence was truly rewarding. By the end of the session, participants were browsing, searching, and asking all the right questions about protecting themselves online.

Events like these are a reminder of the real difference digital literacy can make in people's lives — opening doors to connection, information, and independence. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made the day so special. We look forward to running more sessions in the future!
