HEALING FROM FAMILY VIOLENCE NEWMAN, WA

One crucial and important project we have been able to keep progressing is the Aboriginal Male’s Healing Centre (AMHC) in the Newman township of the Pilbara in Western Australia.

The AMHC is a not-for-profit organisation owned and led by Aboriginal community members motivated by their vision ‘that all Aboriginal women and children live safe and healthy lives free of family violence.’ The AMHC provide culturally appropriate family and domestic violence services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the Pilbara.

In partnership with our Regional Manager, Doyen, and the rest of the Community First Development team, AMHC community members have been able to use video conferencing to continue the planning and construction of AMHC Healing Centre, as well as the development of their important services.

This project would not be able to proceed without the collaboration and support of the following companies:

  • ARUP

  • Matthews McDonald Architects

  • Allied Projects Pty Ltd

  • TAG Architects

  • PM+D ARCHITECTS

Doyen shared: “It’s business as usual for us. We’ve never been busier!”
