Nairm Marr Djambana is a Gathering Place and Neighbourhood House for First Nations people in the Frankston area and is an Associate Member of VACCHO.
Conceived in the late 1990s by our Elders, Nairm Marr Djambana was officially launched in 2016 and services a catchment area of over 30 surrounding suburbs. Our community has worked tirelessly to open the doors and keep them open, creating a culturally welcoming, safe and accessible place to gather, connect and heal. Led by an active community Board, Nairm Marr Djambana provides holistic social and emotional wellbeing services, including strength based community programs, activities and events.
Our mission is to empower the First Nations community, improve holistic wellbeing, celebrate cultural heritage, and foster self-determination by actively engaging with our community, preserving our traditions, and nurturing the inherent strengths in each individual. Through collaborative partnership and community-led initiatives, we work tirelessly to create a future where our people thrive, and our cultural legacy endures.
We are unapologetically committed to Closing the Gap by improving health and wellbeing outcomes and amplifying the voices of our community through a strength-based approach. We foster a holistic wrap-around approach to wellbeing, grounded in community aspirations, empowerment, and Aboriginal ways of Knowing, Being and Doing, weaving a storyline of cultural pride, resilience, and self-determination for generations to come.
