Noongar Family Safety and Wellbeing Council
creating better outcomes for each child
The primary aim of the Noongar Family Safety and Wellbeing Council is to ensure that the rights of all Aboriginal children in Noongar Country are protected and connected to family and culture.
The NFSWC has been formed with the support of the Department of Communities and support from the WA Council of Social Service.
We are proud of our members who help us in this endeavour and are the executive arm of this council.
