It was great to have the 2022 STEM Bursary recipient Abi Elezovich attend and speak at the meeting. It was very interesting to hear about the challenges Abi has had to overcome to progress down the pathway for her chosen course of study.  \nIt was the NCWWA Triennial AGM and unfortunately no nomination was received for the position of NCWWA President. Sally Plummer remains as Treasurer and a number of the former NCWWA Executive members were elected as the new NCWWA Executive team.  \nNominations will be called for again in February as I would like to be able to hand over to someone else. NCWWA is a very important voluntary advocacy organisation which has made a great contribution in working for women and their families.  \nThe Premier of Western Australia recently announced a Cabinet reshuffle and the Hon Sue Ellery MLC is the new Minister for Women's Interests after nearly ten years in the Education portfolio.The Women’s Interests Minister also has responsibility for Finance and Commerce. The Hon Sabine Winton MLA now has responsibility for Early Childhood Education, Child Protection, Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence and Community Services. The Hon Simone McGurk MLA now has responsibility for Training, Water and Youth. Thank you to the Hon Simone McGurk MLA for the work she did over a number of years in some of the most challenging portfolios and her role as Minister for Women's Interests.  \nIn This Edition  \nPage 1-3 Presidents Message  \nPage 3.

According to the 2019 data almost one third of Australians participated involuntary work in the same year contributing almost 600 million hours to the community. Unfortunately however participation rates have declined more recently. The March 2021 ABS Household Impacts of COVID-19 survey included additional questions on volunteering, asking about volunteering behaviour in the last twelve months and reported only one in five (21%) Australians did unpaid voluntary work for an organisation or group in the previous twelve months, compared to one in four (26%) prior to March 2020.  \nWestern Australian suicide prevention service Lifeline WA has, I am advised, been swamped with calls prompted by mounting cost of living pressures. The organisation received almost 300 calls from Western Australians daily in November 2022 the busiest month in Lifeline WA's history. That represents an increase of 66 per cent compared to November 2021. At a time when the community should be enjoying themselves with family and friends some are having to face some very tough realities.  \nA new pilot program has been set up that aims to better connect children in out of home care with health services, is now underway in Mirrabooka and the South-West. The Health Navigator Pilot Program is a two year trial that employs 'health navigators' to assist children in out of home care, their parents, carers and child protection workers-helping them to navigate health services.  \nThe Mirrabooka program was launched very recently and the South-West pilot launched last month. The University of Western Australia Social Impact Centre will conduct an evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the program.  \nNCWWA welcomes the decision taken by the special session of the UN Human Rights Council on th","cbCaihz3uW1V1Pj8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihz3uW1V1Pj8","pdf",598790,"English","# President’s Message\n## AGM and leadership update\n## Volunteering and community wellbeing\n## Mental health and health navigation pilot program\n## Human rights advocacy and government correspondence\n## Education priorities: ATAR and literacy/numeracy\n## Film afternoon and memorial award","[{\"question\":\"What happened at the NCWWA AGM in December 2022?\",\"answer\":\"The message thanks members for attending the NCWWA AGM in West Perth and notes that the 2022 STEM Bursary recipient Abi Elezovich attended and spoke.
