The Australian Dream is a theatrical feature documentary that uses the remarkable and inspirational story of AFL legend Adam Goodes as the prism through which to tell a powerful story about race, identity and belonging.
The Australian Dream resources can support students in their everyday lives, supporting them to be more understanding and aware in the hopes to create a more inclusive nation for all peoples.
Through Adam Goodes’ story, The Australian Dream Resources explore four key educational themes:
Cultural Identity
History and Truths
Racism & Resilience
Reconciliation

It’s NAIDOC Week and we’ve reached the end of our ride through the decades of 50 Years of Deadly! The 2020’s have been a decade of highs and lows where the strength and resistance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has prevailed despite attempts to silence our voices. We are still showing up with love and care to celebrate blak joy! ❤️💛🖤

Culture is Life welcomes yesterday’s historic legislation that gives powers to the National Commission for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children and Young People — a landmark step for the rights, voices and wellbeing of First Nations children and young people.
“Our children have a right to rely on the systems that were purposefully built to support them. Putting it bluntly, our governments are not delivering on this and have been consistently turning a blind eye to what is happening.”
“The only people who are paying the price are First Nations, children and young people.”
Thank you to all who advocated for and are leading this important work. Our congratulations to Commissioner Sue-Anne Hunter on your leadership. We are so grateful that over the last couple of years, the young people involved in our programs have had the honour to be able to spend time with you, listening and learning.
First Nations young mob deserve to thrive. 🖤💛❤️
