Kempsey Cultural Safety Report

In 2021 a meeting was held with local 28 Aboriginal organisations and Leon Donovan, manager of National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA).
The community members wanted to discuss youth unrest, racism, violence, anti-social behaviour, and drug use in Kempsey. They were concerned that a number of mainstream organisations receive funding based on data about First Nations people, but the organisations are not culturally safe.
In 2023 a Cultural Safety Summit was held in Kempsey and this report is the outcome of that summit.
