CHANGE OF VENUE – Yamatji On Country Mullewa Community Consultation

Posted: August 13th, 2025

PLEASE NOTE: The Yamatji On Country Community Consultation due to be held at the Mullewa Town Hall on Thursday 14 August 2025 has had a change of venue. The consultation will now be held at the following location:

Mullewa
Date: Thursday, 14 August 2025
Time: 10:00am – 2:00pm
Venue: Mullewa District Office, Corner Padbury St & Thomas St, Mullewa

This year, YMAC’s Yamatji Regional Committee offered a new way to connect with community ahead of the annual Yamatji On-Country event. Additional to the one central event, we’ve been hitting the road – hosting a series of community consultation workshops in Carnarvon, Meekatharra and Mt Magnet so far, with the final stop Mullewa! 

These sessions will build on the priorities raised in the 2024 Yamatji on Country Call to Action, focusing on:

  • Systemic Change
  • Housing & Accommodation
  • Police & Justice
  • Employment, Training & Economic Development
  • Racism
  • Education
  • Health & Wellbeing

Why Get Involved?

  • Have your say– Share your experiences and what matters to your community.
  • Stay informed– Hear what’s happening on the ground and where things are headed.
  • Drive solutions– Contribute ideas for Aboriginal-led change to be brought forward at the 2025 On-Country event.

This is your chance to be part of a movement that’s community-driven, culturally grounded, and focused on real change.

About the On-Country event
The Yamatji On-Country meeting is an annual forum created by and for First Nations people from across the region. Coordinated by YMAC, it responds to the Yamatji Regional Committee’s vision of a platform where community can come together to voice concerns, identify common goals, and propose solutions that are rooted in Country, culture, and community.

From 2022 to 2024, the gathering was held over two days at Bundiyarra Aboriginal Community Aboriginal Corporation on Southern Yamatji Country in Geraldton. For 2025, we’ve expanded our approach—bringing more voices into the conversation by holding the community workshops ahead of the event.
