Community Leadership Group 2020
In 2020, we are improving our governance arrangements to better support Aboriginal communities across the Mallee region. The Victorian Government is establishing a Mallee Community Leadership Group to represent the independent voice of our local Aboriginal communities, and the Mallee Aboriginal community as a whole.
Two representatives will be appointed from each township (Mildura, Robinvale, Swan Hill and Kerang) and will work closely with the Victorian Government and MDAS for a minimum of six months to implement changes.
The Group will guide and promote a
Membership Drive and support the community’s services needs and aspirations. You can find out more about
becoming a member of MDAS here.
If you would like to
apply for a position on the Board of Directors you can find out more here.
