Happy Indigenous Literacy Day! 📚

At Aveling, we’ve been celebrating by hosting our very own Great Book Swap to support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).

It’s been wonderful seeing everyone discover new reads and share book recommendations, all for an amazing cause! A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

The books will be available in the Whistling Eagle Café until the end of the week. Donations for the books can be made in the boxes in the café, or here.

Your donation will go towards providing books, including books in First Languages, and learning resources to children and families living in remote Communities across Australia.

To find out more about the ILF and how you can support them please visit here.

6-13 July marks NAIDOC Week in Australia; a time to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year, NAIDOC Week is celebrating 50 years of honouring and elevating First Nations voices, culture, and resilience.

The 2025 theme is “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.”

This theme celebrates the achievements of the past while looking forward to a future shaped by the strength of young Indigenous leaders, the vision of their communities, and the enduring legacy of their ancestors. It’s a powerful reminder of the resilience and leadership that continues to shape our nation. You can read more about the theme on the official website.

At Aveling, we celebrated this throughout the week, with highlights including our First Nations’ library, where staff were encouraged to explore the stories and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, past, present, and emerging, who inspire and enrich our communities today.

Our Whistling Eagle Café featured a special NAIDOC Week menu showcasing traditional flavours and ingredients, and our staff came together to learn and celebrate.

As we continue our reconciliation journey, we have been striving to reflect, learn, and participate in activities and partnerships that enhance our understanding and position us to do more going forward.

Aveling was delighted to host the AIHS June Sundowner last night for an evening of connecting with fellow professionals and exploring safety and leadership 🥂

Our Managing Director, Lauren Gonzalez, joined Sophia Rossow, Director & Principal Consultant at Spring Safety Consultants, for a fireside chat guided by MC, leadership communication expert Dr Paula Smith.

Lauren & Sophia reflected on their unique paths as leaders, discussing how they handled the complexities of working in a family business and the pivotal moments and challenges that helped define their individual leadership styles.

We always enjoy hosting guests at our facility and hope to welcome you all back very soon.
