Details

Regardless of whether you’re an existing Yalari supporter, or new to the community, our NAIDOC Tea and Yarns Celebration is open to all! Either join us alongside your colleagues to fundraise in your workplace, live from RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast, or tune in from home.

Fundraising is not required to take part in the Tea and Yarns Celebration. If you choose to, you can use the occasion to raise funds that help Indigenous children access quality education through Yalari. When you register, you will receive a host welcome pack with resources to support your fundraising.

Yarning Circles have long been a part of Indigenous culture, providing a space to share stories, exchange knowledge, and strengthen relationships. They create an environment where everyone—Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike—can come together as equals, listen with respect, and be heard. Through open and meaningful conversations, Yarning Circles foster connection, understanding, and a true sense of community.
