EWON outreach
Community development
EWON’S Community Development Officer, Narelle Brown, visits community organisations including EAPA agencies to promote awareness about EWON’s services and to listen to energy related problems raised by community workers and consumers.
In the past six months, she has addressed community workers and financial counsellors from welfare agencies, migrant resource centres and community centres. Narelle has also travelled to visit community groups located around greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter.
EWON works closely with NSW government and its agencies to deliver outreach and Narelle has also run sessions on understanding key issues for customers for NSW Fair Trading contact staff and MPs’ staff.
Please contact Narelle at narelleb@ewon.com.au if you would like to organise a presentation or have EWON attend a community event.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander outreach activity
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander outreach initiatives have seen EWON's Aboriginal Project Officer, Tracey Duncan, and other EWON staff travelling to various locations across NSW.
The NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout in Bathurst over the October long weekend proved a highlight. With over 10,000 attendees, this major event was a great opportunity for EWON to connect with communities from around NSW.
In October, Tracey and Clare Petre, Ombudsman, enjoyed the opportunity to reach Koori Radio’s audience through a live broadcast interview on the Blackchat on Mondays program. Together they provided advice to listeners about resolving common problems with energy providers and about how EWON can help consumers.
EWON also attended community events in Wilcannia, Wollongong, Bowral and Picton organised by the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet.
Please contact Tracey at traceyd@ewon.com.au if you would like to organise for EWON to participate in a community event or initiative or to give a presentation.
