JINNARRA PROJECTThis planning booklet was developed by Developmental Disability WA and Richmond Wellbeing as part of the Jinnarra Project.

The name Jinnarra comes from the Noongar language, meaning roots of a tree. It was chosen to be a metaphor to represent the complex and interconnected system of kin relations and services that are needed to support an individual, who is Aboriginal, with a disability or psychosocial issue.

Special thanks to Teem Treasure and DADAA for their support to the artists
