Dharriwaa Elders Group <a href="/downloads/DEGprotocolsfinalapril11.pdf">protocols for Welcomes conducted in Walgett</a> were endorsed by the Walgett Gamilaraay Aboriginal Community Working Party in 2011.

The Dharriwaa Elders Group is battling to keep operating due to ever-reducing Commonwealth funding, and the difficulty of earning income from enterprise in a disadvantaged remote community. We remain hopeful that Commonwealth and NSW governments will recognise the value of this Aboriginal community organisation's contributions to Walgett's future and to the success of government objectives.
