National Sorry Day

Today marks National Sorry Day.

A day to recognise the historical injustice of the Stolen Generations and the ongoing pain caused by the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Stolen Generations saw Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families and communities and today is still an ongoing source of intergenerational trauma for Aboriginal and Torres Islander families, communities, and peoples.

Rural Lifestyle Options Australia ask you to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation.

As an organisation, we recognise the power of saying sorry and commit to action towards an equitable future.

We are sorry.

Unfunded Project Achieved!

Rural Lifestyle Options Australia’s twenty-third Unfunded Project involved the purchase of five new All-In-One Computers, which will assist the growing needs of our workforce, now and into the future.

Due to ongoing growth and the current investment into providing unfunded supports, this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Scenic Rim Regional Council.

Thank you to the Scenic Rim Regional Council for bringing this project to fruition through your Community Grants program. 👏
