How We Work

Membership

a) Membership is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders involved and interested in research.
b) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders from outside Victoria are welcome to attend as are International Indigenous visitors. Where possible the facilitator should be informed of the visit prior to the meeting.
c) Non Indigenous people wanting to present to the membership must email the facilitator prior to the meeting with the request and relevant information relating to the presentation. The request will be put to the membership and the facilitator will inform the person of the outcome. Non indigenous people are able to present to the membership prior to the commencement of a meeting.
d) Each member of Wirraway Mirrim appreciates the uniqueness of this group
