We are excited to announce this first workshop in the ‘5 Ways in 5 Days’ suite, which showcases ways to provide support and information in our community.

We are committed to creating opportunities for everyone to come together and showcase what makes Milang so special.

Our community welcomes children and young people, families, older people, culturally and linguistically diverse individuals, First Nations people, and the LGBTQ+ community—ensuring everyone feels included and valued.

By sharing our skills and supporting one another, we can build a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the chance to shine.

Relax in the Lakeside Butter Factory, listening to our presenters discuss their personal journeys, providing helpful information.

Enjoy a free, delicious morning tea and lunch on the day.

Once our activities wrap up, feel free to stay longer and chat, providing feedback to work towards future sessions.
