Oonah is a celebration and showcase of the unique programs and activities offered by Oonah Aboriginal Health and Community Services, located on Wurundjeri Country in Healesville, Victoria. These works were made by participants and families of Oonah’s Playgroup, Youth Club and Earth Heart Spirit programs.  

Through its programming Oonah strives to uphold a Culturally respectful approach that includes and strengthens all peoples, traditions, stories, and Culture, now and for future generations. Acknowledging everyone’s personal journey to discovering their Cultural connection as well as Respect for Traditional ways, Lore and Custom is paramount when providing services and care planning.
