Levi Thorne

Levi Thorne is a Wadjarri Yamatji man and works as a Project Officer for the Midwest Aboriginal Men’s Empowerment project in Geraldton in the Midwest of Western Australia.

This project aims to build primary prevention capability, through developing skills and knowledge amongst Aboriginal men to engage in community-wide conversations about the primary drivers of family domestic violence (FDV) in the Midwest. 

The project was first identified by the Geraldton Aboriginal Men’s Group (GAMG) due to the lack of FDV information, support and understanding for and by First Nation’s male and boys in Geraldton and Mullewa.

The program covers conversations around unpacking the man box, violence in the community, health respectful manhood, role-modelling, trauma, emotions, and healing.

He took on this role to make a difference for the Aboriginal males in his community, and to provide the support they need.

Levi is also involved in delivering the Clinical Yarning Program at WACRH.
