http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aboriginal_financialofficersforum/The Aboriginal Financial Officers Forum (AFOF) is an initiative to promote excellence in financial management for aboriginal organisations. This forum is designed to bring together a national, independent professional association serving the needs of individuals who are working in, or aspiring to, positions with Australian Aboriginal organisations. The forum wishes to identify and make recommendations for training, certification, and professional development in financial management for Aboriginal people. AFOF’s mission is to improve aboriginal financial management by developing and promoting quality standards, practices, research, certification, and professional development to members and aboriginal organisations. Members will be able to assist organisations to maximize the use of resources, strengthen decision-making, meet accountability requirements and strengthen the financial management of aboriginal organisations in Australia.

This group has been set up to enable Indigenous/Aboriginal people who are sober from alcohol and other drugs - to make contact and support each other. Our sober friends are welcome to join us too!
So if you are happy to stay sober - one day at a time - join up so we can support each others sobriety and recovery.
“Is it our right to drink or our responsibility to get sober? Aunty Mary Graham, an Elder from Brisbane said that in the old way we wouldn’t have had a Human Rights Commission, we would have had a Human Responsibilities Commission. We already knew we each had rights as humans, to eat, to have love, and to have water but what was more important was our responsibility to help each other to survive, to look after ourselves with dignity, to look after our Elders, our dreaming sites and lands. How can we look after our land if we are drunk?
(HOPE Conference 1995)
So if you are interested, join up and lets start talking!

The Institute's programs are structured around off-campus
community based delivery, supported by on-campus intensive study
blocks and complemented by local tutors at regional study centres.
This approach to course delivery promotes access and equity for
Indigenous Australian students. Students from all areas; rural, remote and
metropolitan, and across all age ranges, particularly mature age, are able to
undertake studies without compromising their family and community obligations.
In Australia, only a very small number of universities offer degree courses
through off-campus study mode. Deakin has developed a teaching methodology
that is sensitive to the pedagogical and curriculum needs of the students, and
provides appropriate teaching styles, timetabling arrangements and
assessments together with the incorporation of Koorie cultural
knowledge and perspectives into the curriculum.

On 26 May, 1997, a report tabled in Federal Parliament shook Australia. Bringing Them Home detailed painful evidence of the removal of thousands of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children from their families. It recommended that a 'Sorry Day’ be held. A year later over half a million people responded, signing Sorry Books and taking part in ceremonies on Sorry Day. In May 1999, this people's movement launched a 'Journey of Healing'.

Nillumbik Reconciliation Group grew out of an Advisory Committee delegated by the Nillumbik Shire Council to arrange a ceremony to promote reconciliation. As a result of its recommendations, a formal document of Acknowledgement, Apology and Commitment was presented by the Council to Wurundjeri Elders at a Gayip (the Woiwurrung word for an inter-clan gathering or ceremony) held in May 1998 at Wingrove Park.
Ten years on, in 2008, the Council unanimously passed a Reconciliation Charter which will underpin all Shire initiatives and activities, and NRG continues to work in partnership with the Council promoting Reconciliation in Nillumbik.
