PICC Shares Our Story at National Conference

In September 2023, PICC presented twice at the biennial SNAICC Conference, which was held in Darwin.

"The Storyline of the Palm Island Children and Family Centre" told the history and the successes of the CFC and early childhood services on Palm Island.

"Proud Bwgcolman Youth", presented by Jeanie Sam and Dee Ann Sailor, told "a hopeful narrative about our young people" and proposed "an alternative approach to tackling the complex issues driving the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the youth justice system".

Both sessions were very well attended, helping to spread the news nationally about the effective and innovative work that PICC does.

PICC staff members also attended other sessions at the Conference, as well as other conferences and events throughout the year, so as to learn from other companies like ours and to bring the most modern knowledge and best practices to Palm Island.
