“ILO has helped me live more independently and stay connected to my culture.” Even though I’m away from my home in Kintore, I’ve got the right support around me. I’m cooking, cleaning, going to appointments, and still keeping in touch with my family and community. I feel stronger, more confident, and proud of how far I’ve come.”

I like coming here for a stay. Back home in Papunya, it’s noisy all the time — my grandkids running around everywhere, making a lot of noise. Here at respite, it’s quiet. I like that. I like the hamburgers they make too. It’s a good place, good workers. They look after me."

I feel comfortable and supported. The workers are kind and respectful, and I know I can rely on them.
