Overview

The Boomerang caring program is run by a local Bundjalung Goorie man through Dharah Gibinj Casino Aboriginal Medical Service. The program aims to provide a safe, confidential and supportive healing place for all Aboriginal people affected by alcohol and other drugs, in the communities surrounding Casino in NSW.

The program offers education and awareness programs in schools and communities; one to one case management counselling with clients (yarn up); arrangements for intake and referral; and crisis intervention.
