Victoria Aboriginal Child Care Agency Partnership Announcement

We are pleased to announce that AFL North East Border (AFLNEB) has entered into a partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA) as the preferred Family Welfare Organisation. 

VACCA is Victoria’s leading Aboriginal child and family services organisation and is the largest provider of services for Aboriginal family violence and homelessness in the state. As an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO), VACCA has supported children, young people, and families in the community for more than 45 years. 

 

Through their vision of self-determination – Live, Experience, and Be – VACCA works towards the healing of the Aboriginal community by strengthening the safety, wellbeing and culture connectedness of vulnerable children, young people, families, and community members. 

 

Through our partnership, VACCA will have the opportunity to continue building a strong connection to the North East community by attending local football matches and events across the North East, and and supporting indigenous round events within our local leagues. 

“AFL North East Border is excited to have VACCA on board as a partner in 2023. The partnership presents a great opportunity for both organisations locally with many leagues now taking steps to host indigenous rounds and supporting greater participation from the local indigenous community”, said AFL NEB Region Manager Zac Hedin.
