Babana Aboriginal Men's Group is a not for profit organisation based in Redfern. The term Babana means ‘brother’ in the Dharuk language. A common form of greeting among Aboriginal men, the term ‘brother’ also conveys a sense of the cooperative effort and community that underpins Babana We do not receive any ongoing government funding for our organisation and our current Indigenous Employment Program has been suspended by DEEWR. We request your support for releasing the hold on our program so that we can continue to support our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who need employment support. By signing this petition you allow us to present your name to our local minister and also the DEEWR state manager.
