Sarah Sheppard, Women’s Services Manager, was also asked to participate in a plenary panel: the Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort 3 years on. WHL represented the mainstream access and entry points on the panel as one of many agencies on the Blueprint Steering Committee for the formation of an Aboriginal Entry Point system.
Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort is the Victorian Aboriginal Housing and Homelessness Framework and it translates to ‘Every Aboriginal Person has a home’ in Gunditijmara language.
Also on the panel was Darren Smith at AHVIC and Jason, an Aboriginal man with lived experience.
