Campaign messages and resources

Janine Young with Sean Choolburra

Our ‘Mob Matters’ campaign is designed to increase awareness of energy and water issues among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Learn more about the campaign and download campaign materials.

Background

To create this campaign we teamed up with well-known Aboriginal comedian, Sean Choolburra. Sean has been a supporter of EWON’s work since he became aware of our services when he took part in the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office funded Tenant Support and Education Project that EWON was involved in for over two years from 2016/2017.
