Abstract
Over three days, from October 15-17 2024, SEWB network members from across Australia attended the fifth SEWBG to discuss SEWB for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The theme for SEWBG-5 was One Health: the health of the environment, animals, and people. SEWG-5 was held in Tarndanya (Adelaide) on Kaurna Country, South Australia and online via Zoom. This hybrid model enabled SEWB network members unable to participate in person to attend virtually.
SEWB Gatherings are co-hosted by Australian Indigenous Psychologists Association, Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia, National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, and Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing, and are funded by the National Indigenous Australians Agency.
The aim of SEWB Gatherings is to bring together SEWB network members to showcase best practice services and programs from across the country and to discuss the future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander SEWB policy, practice, and research. The network includes SEWB and mental health representatives from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peak bodies and Aboriginal community controlled organisations (ACCOs) and health organisations (ACCHOs), academics, practitioners, policy-makers, and front-line workers.
The strength of the SEWB movement has been made evident by the continued growth of the SEWB network and support for continued SEWB Gatherings, as well as the Government’s explicit commitment through the National Agreement to working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in a era of collective change.
