Cultural Advisory Board

At Wakai Waian Healing, we proudly stand out as a 100% Indigenous-owned and operated organisation deeply embedded within the First Nations community. This unique identity is at the heart of our mission, differentiating us in a meaningful way.  

Our Cultural Advisory Board plays a crucial and distinctive role in fostering a collaborative and culturally safe partnership within our organisation and with the broader community. This board is instrumental in advancing our mission through shared insights and strategic guidance, ensuring that our staff, consumers, stakeholders, and partnering agencies are integral to our journey.

We recognise that effective cultural governance is vital for empowering our organisation to reach its full potential while honouring our cultural heritage and ensuring long-term sustainability. Our Cultural Governance Advisory Board, composed of members with diverse expertise and a profound understanding of First Nations values, is well-equipped to navigate current challenges and seize emerging opportunities. This instils confidence in our consumers and stakeholders regarding the board’s capability to drive innovation and growth while prioritising cultural safety.

Board members are not only aligned with Wakai Waian Healing’s vision; they are passionate advocates for our mission. Their unwavering commitment to our core values and guiding principles reassure stakeholders that we are dedicated to thoughtful progress through continuous analysis, planning, and development.
