Health Promotion
Human Services Training Advisory Council (HSTAC) has been involved in developing resources to support the work of health and environment workers in communities.
Livin' in a House
The Livin’ in a House song and concept grew out of collaboration between Human Services Training Advisory Council, Skinnyfish Music and George Rrurrambu.
The purpose of the animated song is to support Indigenous Environmental Health Workers who do important work in remote Aboriginal communities which helps to deliver better primary health outcomes for the families who live in those communities.
The work is closely associated with the challenge of living in a new house, including understanding how everything works, and managing the living arrangement on a day to day basis.
George Rrurrambu was an elder of the Gumatj clan and an elder of contemporary Aboriginal music. He saw himself as a messenger and believed many stories can be told through song. He was passionate about people being responsible for their own living environment, and wanted this song to support the Indigenous Environmental Health Workers in Australia.
His own message was ‘grow strong’.
The production of this CD has been sponsored by the Beverage Industry Environment Council.
