WHAT IS ADAC?

• ADAC stands for the Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (SA) Inc.

• ADAC was established to address the rising incidence of substance misuse among SA Aboriginals.

ADAC was established in response to the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC). After considerable community consultation and holding a number of state workshops the Aboriginal Sobriety Group Inc. was given money to auspice ADAC until February 1993 when ADAC was incorporated as a state community controlled peak body to address substance misuse.

ADAC has been incorporated as an Aboriginal controlled, state based organisation to:

Provide development of policy and advice to the ADAC Council, the wider community and relevant Government agencies;

Assist in the development and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of substance misuse programs and service delivery, and provide support to Aboriginal substance misuse programs on an ongoing basis;

Advocate for Aboriginal substance misuse issues to the wider community;

Develop substance misuse health promotional materials and to conduct substance misuse awareness programs;

Identify opportunities and advise the community on Government and alternative sources of income;

Positively promote harm minimisation as an effective preventative measure.

Chairperson’s Report

Kummunara (Doug) Walker, ADAC Chairperson sadly passed away on the 17th December 2005. Kummunara Walker was a traditional Aboriginal man who had a range of obligations, but he still had time for social justice, which was to become the driving force behind Kummunara Walker. His own use and abuse of alcohol eventually lead Kummunara Walker to lead a sober lifestyle and become a champion for Indigenous substance misuse. Kummunara saw the destructive power of alcohol as members of his own family and extended families began dying as a result of alcohol abuse. He basically devoted the rest of his life to Indigenous substance misuse and abuse, to try and develop solutions that were culturally appropriate, sustainable and that worked.

One only has to visit places like Alice Springs and surrounding communities to see the impacts Kummunara Walker and others have had, The Central Australian Aboriginal Alcohol Planning Unit (CAAAPU) was started by Kummunara Walker and others, and nearly 20 years later, is still providing substance abuse

rehabilitation, education and awareness throughout the region. Other Indigenous organisations including Tangetyere Council, Alice Springs Congress and ADAC have also benefited from having Kummunara Walker as an employee, mentor and Chairperson.

Kummunara Walker worked at ADAC over a number of years and always ensured that being an urban based organisation, we didn’t loose focus of the rural and remote Communities. In the latter years he looked to work closer to home. While working in Alice Springs and after many years of diabetes he needed dialysis treatment. He decided to have an operation in order to have home dialysis and returned to Oodnadatta to be closer to his family.

His treatment did not restrict Kummunara Walker from being active. Not only was he a member of the ADAC Executive, but in early 2005 he was elected as our Chairperson. Although dying way too young Kummunara Walker had a major impact and will be sadly missed by all who came into contact with him, and here at ADAC we will not forget him.

Rest in Peace Kummunara Walker

Anthony SmithADAC Chairperson

In early 2006, after a respectful period ADAC called for nominations to fill the vacancy left by Kummunara Walker’s passing. After nominations closed Anthony Smith from Oodnadatta was elected ADAC Chairperson. Anthony has been employed as the youth substance misuse worker over a number of years at Dunjiba and has been an active member of the ADAC Executive for several years.

Scott Wilson ADAC Director

Welcome to the Annual Report for the 2005-06 financial year. During this financial year, ADAC has had a busy and productive time. We have finally managed to produce the National Indigenous Illicit Drug Training Package, and the National Indigenous Australian Alcohol Guidelines Package, which are to be distributed to all OATSIH funded services across Australia. During Drug Action Week, ADAC also launched the Alcohol and Your Body animated DVD along with the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) flipchart and brochure.

ADAC ReviewIn June 2004, the Department of Health and Ageing (DHA) through the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH), in partnership with the Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (SA) Inc. (ADAC), agreed it would be timely and useful to undertake a review of ADAC. The Objectives of the review were:

To determine the most effective way to provide peak body and advocacy functions for Indigenous substance misuse; to identify any overlap, duplication or confusion that may exist between ADAC and other agencies and organisations; to clarify appropriate focii, directions and future for ADAC; to identify the various types of activities and functions that best suit a substance misuse peak body

and to make recommendations in relation to the above matters.

After what seemed like a long and stressful time the review has been completed with a range of recommendations, which we will progress in the 2006/07 year. (Please see Appendix 2)

Makin’ TracksThe Makin’ Tracks project is entering into its sixth year with the team of Jimmy Perry and Paul Elliot. The program continually receives calls from across South Australia, Central Australia and the border regions of Western Australia. (For further information see Jimmy’s report)

National Police Diversion Strategy

In April 1999 the Prime Minister announced the creation of a National Police Diversion Strategy. This new strategy was designed to divert people arrested in possession of drugs into assessment and treatment. For example, in the past a person arrested with cannabis would receive an ‘on the spot’ fine in South Australia, under the Police Diversion Strategy they are automatically referred to an assessor for a Drug and Alcohol assessment.

If the person attends and successfully completes the requirements, the police will not proceed further and any evidence etc will be destroyed. On the other hand the person can still elect to go through the normal criminal justice system. This strategy is targeted at both juveniles and adults. (For further information see Byron’s report)

Mentor ProjectADAC has received funding for continuation of the Mentor program based in Murray Bridge and

targeting the Murray Mallee region. This project aims to help those members of the community that are more vulnerable in that they do not have access to services or have huge problems with members of the household in relation to drug and alcohol abuse. (For further information see Billy’s report)

Drug Action WeekJune 18th to June 24th has been declared Drug Action Week. This week of activity is organised by the Alcohol and other Drugs Council of Australia. It is a week of activity across Australia to highlight the issues surrounding substance misuse. Each day of the week has a theme with Monday focusing on Treatment, Tuesday on Prevention, Wednesday on Alcohol, Thursday on Indigenous issues and Friday focusing on Workplace issues.

The idea behind Drug Action Week is to:Raise awareness of the broad range of harms associated with the misuse of drugs;Promote the work of alcohol and other drug prevention and treatment agencies and to;Promote public debate about good practice strategies for reducing drug related harm.

During Drug Action Week ADAC attended the Alcohol Free Day at Ceduna, and helped organise events in Berri. ADAC also hosted a workshop on Amphetamines in Mt Gambier and a workshop on petrol sniffing and other solvents at Nunkuwarrin Yunti. We launched the Alcohol and Your Body animated DVD and the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder flipchart and brochure at the Indigenous community day in Elder Park. We, along with a range of other agencies also a hosted aharm minimisation day at Mobilong Prison and a BBQ in the West Terrace Parklands on the Friday.

Hepatitis C (HCV)We continue to be involved in the area of HCV. This is a major problem confronting Aboriginal people, one that is not being addressed well by governments. We are on the steering committee of the C Clearly Project, which unfortunately finishes this calendar year. We continue to be involved with the Hepatitis C Council and are associated with them in two joint ventures.

An OATSIH funded initiative, which includes Nunkuwarrin Yunti and focuses on young people and engaging with them, through music, to raise awareness of Hep C and safe approaches to injecting drug use. The other project involves DASC and the Hep C Council. This is also youth focused. and aims to work with young people in Coober Pedy, Berri and Mount Gambier. The Commonwealth funds this project through the National Drug Strategy. (For more information please see Sharon’s report)

DementiaWe continue our long association with the Alzheimer’s Association in the provision of Dementia Training for Indigenous Communities. This package has now been thoroughly revised and is in the process of being rewritten. It will now be available in three blocks, making it more flexible and able to meet the needs of a wider range of people.

National Indigenous AOD Training Project

In 2005 ADAC in conjunction with a range of interstate partners was funded to develop an accredited Alcohol and Other Drugs Certificate for Indigenous drug and alcohol workers. This culminated in late 2005 having a National Train the Trainer workshop in Perth to go through all the teaching materials.

In June 2006, we received ongoing funding for an education and training officer to start enrolling workers into the course. We are looking forward to this progressing throughout 2006 – 2007 and are highly hopeful this will lead to educational opportunities the health workers have not had for a number of years. Having a professionally trained workforce will lead to more evidence based practices and solutions that can only benefit the community in the long run.

Isabel Norvil Elder

The Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (SA) Inc. has over a number of years recognised the importance of having Elders involved in the work of the Council. I again feel privileged to be involved in this innovative organisation and bring a wealth of experience with me, where I have had a thirty-year involvement in substance misuse in South Australia both on a professional and personal basis.

In South Australia there is a complete lack of facilities for Aboriginal people. Facilities that focus on families, and programs which support people to achieve the outcomes they want. What services are available are based on models best suited to meet the needs of the organisational deliverer. If an Aboriginal person fails within these systems, it is the fault of the Aboriginal person. These organisations are comfortably sustaining themselves with urban myths about walkabout. It is too uncomfortable to face the reality that “walkabout” is attending yet another funeral, to bury yet another relative, all too often a young person and all too often the result of alcohol and/or other drugs.

As you can see the impacts of drugs and alcohol on Indigenous families are huge and unfortunately it is spreading. We as community people find it difficult to deal withnot only the traumas of constant death and dying, but also the high rate of imprisonment.

We believe that ADAC is a vital component in helping address the alcohol and drug issues in the community.

One of the highlights of the year was The Federal Health Minister, Hon Tony Abbott; MP re-appointing me for another 1-year appointment to the National Advisory Council for Suicide Prevention. I look forward to continuing working with the Suicide Council to ensure that Indigenous issues and concerns around suicide, self harm and substance misuse are bought to the attention of the Federal Government and through the Council, are addressed.

In the 2005/06 financial year I was again a member of the Aboriginal Health Council SA Ethics Research Committee, we meet monthly at night and look at research proposals from a variety of sources seeking to do research in Indigenous communities.

Other areas that I have been involved include the Granny’s Group meetings weekly at Parks Community Health Centre. This group looks at issues surrounding drug abuse and its affects on the family unit. This year has seen us develop and produce a DVD on substance misuse resilience. This will also involve training people as facilitators to take the DVD to a range of communities to discuss the impacts of drug addiction and use.

I am still actively involved with the Nungas Court at Port Adelaide, that besides looking at offenders coming before the court also sees me providing support to help direct people to the right areas that can provide help. I meet and liaise with the Court Justice Officers on how they might be of more assistance to Indigenous clients.

I am also on the Children’s in

State Care Mulligan Inquiry that is looking into Indigenous kids that were placed in State care and were subject to a range of abuse. Finally, I would like to thank the dedicated staff at ADAC and the member organisations throughout South Australia for their continued support.

Cyril Coaby Elder

My name is Cyril Coaby. I am an Elder that has had over 30 years experience in drug and alcohol programs for Indigenous people throughout Australia.

I was a founding member of the Aboriginal Sobriety Group and the WOMA rehabilitation project in Port Augusta.

This has seen me work in a variety of substance misuse projects from Adelaide to Darwin and has left me with affiliations with Aboriginal people all over South Australia. I relate to urban, country and traditional Aboriginal people.

I also work co-operatively with non-Aboriginal, government departments and Aboriginal organisations with my experience and background. I enjoy doing part time work with ADAC. My forte has been with Alcohol and Drugs treatment and education, so doing part time work with ADAC can be very beneficial to the Aboriginal community.

This has seen me, along with Byron attending and contributing ideas and solutions to the Port Augusta and Salisbury City Council Dry Zone meetings. I


- 15

am also a fully qualified health worker and educator. I also attend and help with the BBQ at the West Parklands every Friday at lunchtime that ADAC has been doing for over 5 years. This also gives me the oportunity to provide support to members of the community that find themselves caught up in the cycle of substance misuse.

I enjoy my time at ADAC and would like to thank all the other ADAC staff, community organisations and community people for their support throughout the past year.

Byron Wright ‘Police Drug Diversion

Initiative’

As part of capacity building in the Police Drug Diversion Initiative (PDDI) project I have also, as the ADAC Indigenous Diversion Liaison Officer been involved in a range of projects and issues which I will report on below.

Since last year I have continued with as many steering committees, reference groups, workshops, programs and meetings that there has been time for. For example, I am now involved in the Court Assessment Referral Drug Scheme (CARDS), Police Drug Diversion Initiative (PDDI), and Drug Court Aboriginal Reference Group (DCARG). I have attended steering committee meetings on behalf of the Director of Young Nungas Yarnin Together, State Reference group meetings for the PDDI and also continue participation in the Homeless BBQ, PDDI Custodial Diversion sittings and the Diversion Panel at Greenhill Road.

I attended an OATSIH two-day workshop. I have become more involved in transporting clients for the CARDS and followed up assessments on PDDI clients. The Port Augusta and Salisbury Council Dry Zone meetings, both myself and Cyril Coaby continue to attend and have constantly put forward community solutions to the Dry Zones and ensure that communities’ interests, concerns and or issues that they may have in the alcohol and drug diversion

area are put forward.

My main function and role at ADAC is the PDDI and this year I assisted in helping 115 Indigenous people who had been diverted undergo drug and alcohol assessments.

Issues that have arisen as a result of the PDDI are that I am now being called upon by other similar type programs for assistance. For example, transporting Indigenous youth in the youth CARDS Program and the adult CARDS Program. Both these programs are taking up considerable amounts of my time as they involve more in depth assessments and ongoing treatment for clients referred by the SA Court system.

Part of the reason is that some diversion clients are not easy to find and or are afraid to attend due to lack of understanding of the PDDI Program, also when requested by the client, I am sometimes sitting in with clients attending DASSA assessors assisting with both the CARDS and PDDI assessment.

Indigenous Community Outreach BBQ West Parklands Adelaide

Has continued to engage with people that may not be able to work at the speed at which the mainstream organisations wish. The increasing numbers of organisations attending on a regular basis and making contact with people to advocate for them has been positive as each contributes to individual needs within the Parklands.

I have now been involved in this event for over 4 years and the BBQ’s are held every Friday rain, hail or shine. Community involvement obviously fluctuates due to weather and other events such as funerals but over 2,500

Indigenous people are helped on an annual basis with about 20 regulars attending every week.

During Drug Action Week this year ADAC expanded the Christmas hamper initiative to the Drug Action Week BBQ, the take away hampers contained six meals for fifty of the people there on the day, contact service information, diaries and other information about organisations that may be able to help people who come to the Parklands.

Drug Action WeekThis year I have attended a number of events in collaboration with other organisations such as Nunkuwarrin Yunti, DASSA, SA Network of Drug and Alcohol Services (SANDAS), Save A Mate, DRUG-ARM, ASG, the Hep-C Council of SA, Street Link and the Adelaide City Council.

ADAC, the Hep-C Council SA, Department of Corrections, DASSA, and Lower Murray Nunga’s Club again went into Mobilong Prison. All contributed to the day which involved a live band, food which was supplied for the whole prison, and a range of health promotional messages including posters and decks of playing cards with ‘stages of change’ messages. Information on health and well being as well as a range of pamphlets and information on services available to prisoners was either discussed in person or handed out by ADAC staff. It was a great day for 300 prisoners and staff, but for me the disheartening thing was the large number of incarcerated people.

Jimmy Perry ‘Makin’ Tracks’

Payla, welcome to another year of Makin’ Tracks. Looking back at the year it has been a busy one. There have been a few staff changes this year. I am still here holding up the fort. This is my 6th year working within the Makin’ Tracks project with Aboriginal Drug & Alcohol Council.

Paul Elliot finished up in October 2005 after 3 years. Damien Rigney come aboard in March 2006 and unfortunately left after 3 months. I would like to thank both of them and wish them all the best in their future endeavours. Since Damien finished in June the other position in the team has been vacant and we will be advertising the position in the next couple of weeks.

I have been very busy this year travelling pretty much all over Australia covering areas such as the APY Lands, regional country SA, Sydney and Northern Territory. This included educating communities upon invitation, supporting Community Leaders and attending conferences and presenting workshops.

Here are a few of things that have kept me busy over the past year. Mt Gambier Regional Alcohol and Drugs Strategy, Adelaide Uni Medical School student education session on Indigenous substance misuse and related issues, Wariapendi School student education sessions on substance misuse as well as being involved with “Moving Across the Frontier Young Aboriginal People and Hep

C” project making a DVD around Hep C awareness. This project also saw me attending workshops with students from Wairapendi, Mt Gambier, Coober Pedy, Berri, Port Lincoln as well as being on the ‘Moving across the Frontier Young Aboriginal People and Hep C’ Steering Committee.

Other communities I have held substance misuse related workshops include community visits to Yalata, Mt Gambier, Port Lincoln, Ceduna, Port Augusta, Maree, Nepabunna, Copley, Leigh Creek, Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta, Finke, Indulkana, Mimili, Fregon, Ernabella and Amata.

Makin’ Tracks’ engagement with communities has continued to be strong this year with me being at Yalata to conduct school education and attend interagency meetings with numerous agencies involved with Yalata.

I attended a range of events including the Port Lincoln Youth Camp supervising activities and discussions re drug use and lifestyle. The Men’s Health Camp at Mount Gambier supporting local workers and initiating discussions re drug/alcohol use. Yalata Sniffers Camp meetings that included community education and Sniffers Camp and the Night Patrol at Yalata and the Young Nungas Yarnin Together Youth Camp held at Kuitpo.

The success last year of the AP vs. Yalata Maralinga football at AAMI Stadium saw me on the Steering Committee of the Rio Tinto Challenge Cup for the football game, which has a drug education focus. This also meant that the week prior to the match saw me conducting drug and alcohol awareness sessions for visiting AP Lands football teams. I, along with Helen from ADAC, also developed the poster for Rio Tinto Challenge

Cup, which was distributed across South Australia.

I continue to have regular trips with Pika Wiya Health Service helping to conduct drug and alcohol awareness in Maree, Nepabunna, Copley, Iga Warta, helping with health promotion, community BBQs, distribution of resources and discussions on drug use.

Makin’ Tracks continues to visit the AP Lands upon invitation and this year has seen me on trips to Indulkana, Mimili, Fregon, Ernabella and Amata schools where we conducted education groups with senior students. Also this year during Drug Action Week I helped conduct AOD awareness and community BBQ’s in Ceduna and Mobilong prison for health awareness, lunch and live music, and helped at the Parklands BBQ.

I was invited to attend a workshop in Sydney by Streetwize Communications to help develop a resource kit and comic targeting Aboriginal Carers.

I was also invited to present at the following conferences or workshops;Youth Summit Adelaide- presentation on Binge DrinkingTaoundi College-presentationSA Nursing Federation-student talk Aboriginal Youth Advisory Committee Summit-presentation Adelaide Underdale High School-Aboriginal student’s education sessionAboriginal Male Health Wellbeing GatheringAdelaide University-Medical students talk

I would like to take this time to thank my family for the support they give me to travel away as much as I do. It can be quite difficult at times juggling work commitments and family life especially when you have three


1� -

very active children. However we seem to manage and pull through.

Thankyou to Katie for her support, without this it would make working away from home all the more difficult.

I would also like to thank all the Communities that have invited me into their Communities. I have felt valued and respected and as much as I am there to teach and inform on different issues I have also learnt so much from them.

Billy Wilson ‘Mentor Project’

The Mentor Project has been running since January 2004, during this time there has been a lot of networking to develop relationships with the government and non government agencies that have drug and alcohol related services to maintain best practices to allow a culturally sensitive service delivery.

The Family Mentor Position continues to assist with the stress that elder’s deal with through substance misuse within the family unit. The family Mentor Worker deals with a stable member of the family and works closely with the Kinship Worker to deal with the drug user. Due to the gender balance we have between the workers, we may exchange roles to allow a more culturally appropriate service. (For example some male users may feel more comfortable dealing with a male, as a mother may feel safer with a

female.)

The project has been involved with health promotion and running events throughout the cultural activities that occur in the Hills/Mallee/Southern Region. The Mentor Project and Kinship Project ran a Talent Quest for the Indigenous Community during Drug Action Week “Jammin for Harm Minimisation” the event had a junior and an adult section.

The finalist from the junior talent quest during Drug Action Week held the grand final at the NAIDOC Youth Concert and the adult finalist held the grand final at the NAIDOC Cabaret. This timeframe allowed us to educate on the importance of drug and alcohol abuse and gave us the opportunity to further the education on promoting health and preventing illness.

The project is also involved with other Indigenous programs throughout the region to increase awareness and accessibility of the program. The Aboriginal Elders Group is a major connection for the project to assist as a cultural broker through their extended knowledge of the environment and the community.

The Mentor Project is also involved with a group called “We are Family”. This group enables Indigenous community members to access support for themselves as carers of the children of family members who are using drugs.

Other programs the Mentor Project is involved with include the Men’s SPIRIT group and the Men’s at Risk Youth group, whilst the Kinship worker is involved in the Women’s group and the Women’s Youth Hip Hop Hip group to allow for the gender balance to promote both programs.

To ensure the program has

success I also attend Regional Aboriginal Health Service Providers [RAHSP] meetings, Aboriginal Primary Health Care Unit Meetings as an adopted employee, Lower Murray Nunga’s Club Staff Meetings and Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council Team Meetings this allows strong networking to occur to benefit our Indigenous Community.

The project has been successful with an ICP grant which will allow us to take clientele on a two day retreat and ‘Pamper Yourself’ camp with educational workshops on drug and alcohol related issues. The camp is to be held at the Wilderness Lodge, which is located on Ngarendjerri lands along the Coorong, in a culturally appropriate setting.

Katie Perry ‘Young Nungas Yarnin’

Together’

Hi my name is Katie Perry and I am the project officer for Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together Peer Education Program. Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together is funded by the National Illicit Drug Strategy, Community Partnership Initiative and a Youth Empowerment Grant, from the SA Office for Youth.

Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together is a partnership between Aboriginal Drug & Alcohol Council and Parks Community Health Service.

Some of the objectives of the project are: To establish a


- 1�

sustainable ‘Peer Education’ project for Aboriginal youth in the Parks area that motivates young people to play an active role in drug prevention and early intervention activities with other youth; provide young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to avoid drug use utilising harm minimisation; develop skills of youth as ‘peer educators’ with the ability to actively support other youth who use drugs; provide youth with access to appropriate and up to date information, resources and support.

I have been in the position of Project Officer since September 2005. In this time I have developed and worked on many exciting activities and projects such as:

PeerEducationProgramThe Peer Education Program concept has moved from the developmental stage, during which meetings were held with consultants/peer educators from the Talking Realties peer education project, and ShineSA to discuss the model. A DRAFT model has been developed with TafeSA and is currently being linked to Cert 3 in Alcohol and Other Drugs.

ProgramActivitiesTo develop a profile of the program and establish connections with Aboriginal services and community members, a number of diversionary, short term project activities were developed. The aim being, to talk with young Indigenous people to establish the Peer Ed possibilities and create links into the accredited training.AerosolArtProjectThis was a two day workshop focusing on solvent misuse education run in November 2005. It involved bringing together young boys who dabble in the art of graffiti, in a structured

environment. An artist was employed to help the boys design a mural to promote Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together and teach the proper techniques required to produce quality artwork. Students from Woodville High School attended the workshop with the Aboriginal Education Worker coming along for support.

LearnToSurfLearn to Surf Program was a 5 week program run in December 2005. This program incorporated water safety, safe risk taking, building self esteem, developing team work and working together, and computer skills such as accessing the net for surf report daily and locating how to get there by public transport.

BlackISBeautifulWas a self esteem program for young Indigenous females aged between 12-18years. The Project Officer from Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together was asked to guest present on four occasions in October 2005, the True Colors Self Esteem program.

NungaPoolPartyNunga Pool Party was a community gathering held at the Parks Sports & Fitness Centre on 18th January 2006 to provide the Aboriginal Community with a chance to come together in a safe environment to have fun and share their concerns, ideas etc for future programs that provide a service to young Indigenous people. 200 Indigenous families & young people attended the event.

The Nunga Pool Party was a collaborative venture between Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together, Nunga IT, Port Adelaide Enfield Council and Community Links in Partnership.

Aboriginal&TorresStraitIslanderYouthExpo

The Youth Expo was a one day interactive expo catering for Aboriginal young people aged between 12-25 from the Adelaide metro and Anangu/Pitjantjatjara Lands as part of National Youth Week (April) 2006.

The expo provided Aboriginal young people with the opportunity to express their ideas and views, raise issues of concern and look at strategies and mechanisms that may alleviate their concerns. Young people had the opportunity to access information regarding pathways inclusive of Health, Education, Training, Employment and Recreation for their future. Recognition was also given to the positive contributions made by young people to their community. 600 young people and community members attended the Event.

The Project Officer from Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together jointly co-ordinated the Youth Expo with a worker from DEFEEST. This involved applying for and successfully receiving a grant from the Office for Youth, organising a steering committee to plan and implement the event, and facilitating the day’s proceedings etc.

This was also a collaborative venture between many youth agencies within the western suburbs of Adelaide such as DEFEEST, ADAC, Nunga IT, Port Adelaide Enfield Council, Charles Sturt Council, Kumangka, Reconnect Service and Western CAHMS.

CampIn June 2006 I ran a 3-day camp for young Aboriginal people who are no longer attending mainstream school as a way to link them to the Peer Ed Program. We went to Camp Coorong and participated in cultural activities, health, drug & alcohol education

and financial health workshops. This was a great experience and I was able to build strong relationships with the young people in attendance that should continue in the future. MentoringInformal mentoring by the project officer has occurred in all of the activities run by the project officer. Additionally, due to the partnership approach undertaken during the project an Aboriginal male role model has been involved in the Surfing Program, the Aerosol Art, Nunga Pool Party, A Community Consultation and the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Youth Expo – National Youth Week 2006.

Culturally appropriate strategies have been put in place that address the social and emotional well-being of Aboriginal youth, such as partnerships made with Aboriginal organisations, working with Aboriginal people, and fostering pride in identity through the activities run. Activities, projects, and programs run, focus on the issues that young Aboriginal people face on a daily basis, such as unemployment, education, social and emotional issues and health.

Successful partnerships and collaborations have been created with many organisations servicing young Indigenous people which are benefiting the project such as; DEFEEST, Nunga IT, Kumangka Youth Service & Reconnect, MAYT, CYFS, Oceanview College, Woodville High School, Aboriginal Kinship Program, and Community Development Team Parks Health Service.

FeedbackFeedback is received on an ongoing basis from the young people involved. This feedback is both formal and informal. The young people are consulted in

the first instance to gauge their interest in implementing activities, programs, excursions and outings and are also engaged to suggest activities and ideas for future programs within Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together.

The young people involved are also asked to comment on each activity run after the event. Positive feedback has been received from the schools whose students attend the various activities run by Young Nungas Yarnin’ Together.

On the whole the feedback received has been positive from both the young people and members within the Aboriginal Community.

Sharon Drage “Moving Across the

Frontline”

I am employed by ADAC for two days per week as a project officer. Primarily I am working on the Moving Across the Frontline: Young Aboriginal People and Hepatitis C, which is a collaborative project involving ADAC, The Hepatitis C Council of South Australia (HCCSA) and Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia (DASSA).

So far we have consulted with young people in Mount Gambier, Coober Pedy and Warriappendi School. We have revisited them since then and given education

sessions about hepatitis C and overdose followed by them taking control of the sessions and writing and putting together short films with messages about hepatitis C. We are currently at the end of this project and the short films in the form of DVD’s should be out there fairly soon. This project has been a lot of fun for workers and young people alike.

We have also consulted with a number of workers to find out where the gaps are in delivery of information and support regarding hepatitis C. A written report on this will be available at the completion of the project. With regard to this project, I wish to thank the following people, Leslie Wightman from HCCSA, Don Hayward, Garry Goldsmith, Troy Bond from DASSA, Dave Salamon from Warriapendi School, Matt and Clayton also from Warriapendi School, and of course Jimmy Perry from the Makin’ Tracks Project at ADAC. I also wish to thank all of the young people, the staff from Warriapendi School, Pangula Mannamurna and Burrundies in Mount Gambier, Rose Temple from Umoona CDEPT in Coober Pedy and the Coober Pedy Area School who allowed us to use their premises.

I have represented ADAC on the hepatitis C sub committee which is a committee of people who discuss and deal with many issues regarding the virus.

I have worked with Byron again this year at the BBQ’s in the West Parklands and have had many people turn up to those. The BBQ’s are always a highlight of the week for me.

I would like to thank Nicole from SAVIVE for her continued presence at the BBQ’s, also giving out good information to the people who attend. Thankyou also to


- 21

Byron Wright who has given me so much support and good learning in the time I have worked with him.Finally Thankyou to the staff and management at ADAC who have given me support during this past year. I would like to begin this year with a BIG special Thank-you to Sofia and Geoffrey for all their effort and hard work through this difficult year.

Helen Wilson Office Manager

I would like to welcome Tammy to the ADAC admin team and I hope her stay will be a good one. This has been another ‘full on’ year, with the ever-ongoing reviewing putting ADAC under the microscope.

We have had a range of issues that have taken up admin time, and having fewer staff this year has meant the admin staff are also called upon to utilise their skills in providing information and resources to the community.

For example this year I have presented workshops around Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, now called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). In February, I presented at the Aboriginal Health Division Seminar “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and its impact on Aboriginal families”. I held a session at Tandanya, National Aboriginal Cultural Institute Inc., telling people what ADAC has been doing about FASD and introducing the ADAC flipchart and other resources. The session was very well received.

I have been asked to speak at the Women’s Referral & Access Project (WRAP) in September to coincide with September 9th World FASD Day.

FASD flipchart and leafletADAC has been working on the issue of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects for the last ten or more years. When ADAC many years ago first started looking at FAS/FAE we found that the Women and Children’s Hospital had had about 10 cases in the previous 10years, the false perception then, was that Aboriginal people were the only people who got this disorder.

Last year ADAC acquired funding from Community Benefits SA to develop a flipchart so we could tell people the story about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAS/FAE.) ADAC felt that the flip-chart needed to be graphically driven for Aboriginal communities, with the words for the presenter on the flip side.

ADAC began researching and realised very quickly that the rest of the world has done a lot more research and that new terminology was being used. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) this new terminology now coveres all the disorders that can be caused by a pregnant woman drinking alcohol.

ADAC then, after the submission process received more money from AERFoundation to print. We had circulated the flipchart quite widely, but apart from ‘its great,’ there has not been much feedback.

ADAC has subsequently had a rethink and the flipchart has been reduced in length. Comment received from Elders was not to have the front cover with a baby, so we made a new cover and used

the baby as the first picture when giving the workshop.

At the same time ADAC decided to produce a brochure with a questionnaire that can be filled out before and after the workshop to find out what people know about FASD, some further information on how to prepare for a FASD assessment of an adult, and some useful history it would be beneficial to collect and/or know.

AlcoholandyourbodyDVDWe have also made a DVD about alcohol and your body. We have developed and produced the DVD using animation instead of Aboriginal people to avoid veiwing restrictions if someone passes away. We were also very fortunate that Rick Forsyth made a recording of the speech for ADAC when he was in Australia two years ago. To produce the DVD, ADAC received funding from the AERFoundation.

DrugActionWeekI went to the Riverland on the 21st June as ADAC along with Aboriginal Sobriety Group and others helped fund a community event around substance abuse with information and a BBQ.

The following day in Elder Park, ADAC launched the Alcohol and your body DVD and the FASD Flipchart at the Adelaide Indigenous theme day for Drug Action Week.

Sofia Rivera Finance Officer

This year I have been extremely busy with my finance duties as well as supporting the office and project officers with administration and any other support that they might require.

One of the down sides of being the Finance Officer is not being able to travel to remote communities as project officers and other staff members may do. However my work in the office is quite challenging and keeps me alert.

My duties as a Finance Officer are to maintain the books in MYOB which involves the every day bookkeeping, wages, Fringe Benefit Tax (Salary Sacrifice), superannuation Work Cover, annual reconciliation, and reporting to funding bodies.

ADAC was in need of a new auditor in November 2005 when Kevin Burrowes resigned. The Board appointed Not For Profit Specialist as ADAC’s new auditor.

Early this year I attended a workshop organised by OATSIH. This workshop was available to all OATSIH funded organisations, so we could all come together to share information, discuss and identify any key issues facing Indigenous organisations and come up with ways of addressing these issues. Most importantly this workshop was provided by OATSIH to inform their funded organisations about the planning and financial requirements for the 2006/2007 financial year.The workshop was different to

last year in that accountants and auditors were invited so that they could be informed and be aware of what is expected of them and discuss any queries that they might have. This was a great opportunity for our new auditor to get a feel of the funding body expertise.

I attended a workshop on GST, FBT, Work Cover, Superannuation and the new employment legislations.This workshop was a refresher on government statutory requirements.

In July last year I enrolled at Adelaide TAFE to continue my studies in Accounting, subsequently, I am studying the Advance Diploma in Accounting part time, which I hope to complete in two years time if everything goes well.

I look forward to keeping you informed in the next year.

Geoffrey Hawkins Administration Officer

This year has been another busy year for us here at ADAC. My main duty this year as part of the administration team has been reception. This involves dealing with the many enquiries we receive from all over the country, whether it be from organisations looking for help with drug and alcohol resources and strategies to deal with substance misuse issues, to students looking for information from our library.

Answering the phones also helps keep me up to date with ADAC

business and organisations that we have a collaboration with, or working with on different projects. Tammy Colson, our new administration trainee has now taken over the reception position and this has allowed me the opportunity to take on a number of new roles and responsibilities.

One of my main responsibilities is the order and dispatch of resources. ADAC receives requests for resources from organisations and individuals from all over Australia and we help communities source the resources, they need for dealing with the substance misuse issues in their community.

Wherever possible ADAC provides a stall and staff at community events throughout the state. This year has seen us attend events like the Croc Festival in Port Augusta, a number of NAIDOC and Drug Action Week events, the Youth Week Expo at Port Adelaide Football Club, events in Port Pirie, Murray Bridge, Port Augusta, Ceduna and a number of events in the metropolitan area.

Where we do not have the staff to attend events we always try to provide resources and information to other agencies organising these events. I am also responsible for collating feedback on our new resources and providing this information to the project officer who is reviewing them.

The ADAC Virtual Parenting dolls have been a great success and have proven to be a valuable educational tool and are used regularly by project officers in their drug and alcohol presentations. ADAC has also made the dolls available upon request to other organisations for their presentations so they have done quite a bit of travelling around the state to places like Port Lincoln,


- 2�

Ceduna, Coober Pedy and Mount Gambier.

ADAC still receives many requests for the Petrol Sniffing and Other Solvent Training Manual and during the year we had another 500 copies of the manual printed.

I maintain files of ADAC funding agreements and keep records of monies owed and ensure that reports are completed on time.

This year I have written a couple of small successful submissions and have been responsible for ensuring that our Drug Action Week events run smoothly.

Events this year included a Reconciliation and Drug Awareness event for the Inmates at Mobilong Prison, assistance for events in Murray Bridge, Ceduna and Berri, a health day in Rymill Park, a BBQ in the West Parklands and a Drug and Alcohol worker provided for the Maralinga Tjartja Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankantjatjara Lands Challenge Cup.

I am still responsible for organising our Executive Meetings and our Annual General Meeting and this involves keeping in regular contact with our representatives from our 24 member organisations.

During the year I have had the opportunity to visit some of our communities and I always enjoy the chance to get out of the office. I have visited Yalata on two occasions, Dunjiba, Pika Wiya, Kalparrin and the Lower Murray Nunga’s Club. I have also been attending the Clinical Alcohol Guidelines for Indigenous Communities Steering Committee and Reference Group meetings and I have been to Perth to participate in the Indigenous Alcohol and Other Drug National Train-the-Trainer (Strong Spirit,

Strong Mind) Information and In-Practice workshop.

I work closely with our project officers and I am responsible for organising their travel and accommodation arrangements. I am also available to help with any other administration assistance that they may need. I still enjoy my work very much and I always seem to have something different to keep me occupied.

Tammy Colson Administration Trainee

Hi, my name is Tammy Colson, I’m the new Admin Trainee, I started working here on the 14th of March 2006. I grew up in Ernabella with my Dad and Grandparents for 7 years of my childhood and then was sent to Yirara College in Alice Springs to start my high school. Then I moved to Meningie with my aunty and went to high school there for about 2 months. While I was in Adelaide for the weekend, my Mum came and took me to Whyalla to live with her. Then I went to Stuart High School and completed years 8, 9 and 10. I then moved over to Edward John Eyre High School and completed year 11.

My responsibilities at ADAC are answering the phone, helping send out resources, processing the daily mail, organising the shopping for the BBQ and entering the Task Requests into the computer.

I went to the Youth Week on 6th April 2006 at Port Adelaide

Football Club. There were all different organisations there with resources for the students. There was a free BBQ, band and some dancers. I also went to Mobilong Prison for Reconciliation on the 1st June 2006, ADAC provided free lunch and a band for the inmates, it was a great experience to go inside the prison and to see what it’s like.

For Drug Action Week on 21st June 2006, I went to Murray Bridge, and Sofia, Geoffrey and I organised an educational stall of information for people and students. On the 22nd June 2006 I went to Rymill Park, Geoffrey and I prepared an educational stall there for everyone.

Working here at ADAC has been a great experience, its great to know there are organisations out there to help Aboriginal people stop using drugs and drinking alcohol.
