Yiradhu marang Biyanggalambul. Good day all in Wiradjuri language.
Meet Deb. She’s a proud Wiradjuri woman born on country in Narrandera, New South Wales, and she’s one of our Aboriginal Community Liaison Officers (ACLOs).
As an ACLO in Ballarat, Deb consults with the local Aboriginal community and provides advice to Victoria Police on local Aboriginal issues and encourages the local Aboriginal community to engage with police.
She spent 16 years working in the justice and corrections areas before becoming an ACLO in February. It was Deb’s husband, who was a police officer with Victoria Police for 45 years, who encouraged her to apply.
To Deb Reconciliation Week means acknowledging the significance of the week and continuing to build respectful relationships between non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal people and supporting her colleagues to do so as well.
She acknowledges she has an opportunity as an ACLO to help work towards reconciliation with integrity and respect.
