It will focus on the delivery of “successful post-school education, training and employment outcomes” for Aboriginal peoples, reports state Member for Dubbo Troy Grant.
Bangamalanha means “to share with each other”.
“That’s exactly what this conference is all about,” Mr Grant said.
“Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people gathering from across the country to work on strategies to bridge the gap Aboriginal peoples face when it comes to education, training and employment.”
“It’s an important opportunity to learn about Aboriginal culture and engage in meaningful conversations to create real and long-lasting improvements in closing these gaps.
