ABOUT US
Kornar Winmil Yunti (KWY)
The name of the organisation in Ngarrindjeri means ‘men working together’.
KWY was established in 2011 from conversations with local Aboriginal Elders around the need for Aboriginal-led responses for families addressing health, wellbeing, and safety. Initially focused on men’s behaviour change around domestic, family and sexual violence, KWY has since moved on to incorporate working holistically with women, children, and community. Our vision is for Aboriginal peoples to thrive through being culturally strong, empowered, and safe.
Our nationwide impact.
KWY reaches over 1,700 people a year, providing vital support for safety, social and emotional wellbeing and cultural connection. Over the years, KWY has achieved remarkable outcomes, including the preservation of family unity and enhanced safety measures.
Cultural ways of healing and engagement are embedded in our programs providing unique ways of improving outcomes and wellbeing, reducing risk and increasing safety.
At the heart of KWY.
The safety of women and children is at the heart of KWY. We aim to improve the safety of women, children and men by providing specialist knowledge and culturally responsive services to break the cycle of family, domestic and sexual violence and stem the flow of Aboriginal children into the child protection systems across Australia.
