Tamara (Aboriginal Caseworker):  I'm Tamara, I'm a, I'm an Aboriginal caseworker in Moree. I'm a proud Gomeroi woman.

The main reason I became an Aboriginal caseworker was to support Aboriginal families.

I want all Aboriginal children to grow up safe, connected to their kinship, and to grow up on Country.

I'm a proud Bigambul Kamilaroi man. The thing I like mostly whereas a Aboriginal caseworker is working with the families, working with them there so they can have that, still have that connection to Country.
