Strong mob, strong peak | AbSec Hawkesbury CODA Community Gathering
Come along, connect, have a yarn and help shape the work that matters to our communities.
AbSec is heading to Hawkesbury and we’re inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, Elders, ACCOs and Aboriginal workers to join us for our next Community CODA Gathering.
This is a free, mob-only, culturally safe event bringing community together for a day of connection, conversation, shared learning and, most importantly, an opportunity to have your voice heard.

Come and yarn with AbSec
Our Community CODA Gatherings are about bringing AbSec to community – creating a space where we can share what we have been working on, listen to what is happening locally and hear directly from mob about the issues, priorities and opportunities that matter to Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities.
Members of our Strong Families Our Way, Community Engagement, Policy and Advocacy, and Learning and Development Centre teams will be joining us to share information about AbSec’s work, programs, resources and support across the Aboriginal child and family sector.
Your voice matters
This Community CODA Gathering isn’t just about us talking to community – it’s about listening to community.
We want to hear your experiences, your ideas and what you believe needs to happen next.
It’s also an opportunity to connect with other mob, build relationships, learn more about available resources and supports, ask questions and contribute to conversations that can help influence better outcomes for Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities.
Strong mob. Strong voices. Strong communities.
Register Today
Places are limited and registrations are essential to assist us with catering and planning.

This is a mob-only, culturally safe event.
We look forward to welcoming you to Batemans Bay for a deadly day of yarning, connection and community.
We can’t wait to see you there!
