Peer Work Celebration

Calling all Peer Workers in Murrumbidgee!

Peer Workers are a vital part of so many mental health, suicide prevention, drug and alcohol services across our communities.

No matter what part of the service system you work in, your lived expertise, skills and knowledge make a real difference every single day. You bring understanding, connection, and hope in ways that only someone who’s been there can. You help break down stigma, walk alongside people through tough times, and show what recovery and strength can look like.

We want to celebrate the powerful work that all Peer Workers across Murrumbidgee do. We appreciate you. Your voice matters. Your work matters. And the impact you have on the lives of others is massive.

Let's celebrate together

If you are currently working as a Peer Worker for a mental health, suicide prevention or AOD service in the Murrumbidgee region, you are invited to come to our Peer Work Celebration Day.

Come and have some fun, get together with your peer colleagues, make new connections and take some time to appreciate the important work that you all do (oh, and eat some free lunch!).

What time: 11am - 2pm

Where: Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre,

Acknowledgement of Country

The Murrumbidgee MHDA Alliance acknowledges and pays respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which our member organisations operate; the Wiradjuri, Nari Nari, Wemba Wemba, Perepa Perepa, Yorta Yorta, Ngunnawal, Ngarigo, Bangerang and Yitha Yitha Nations.

We recognise our communities are made up of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples descended from additional mobs and clans who also call the Murrumbidgee region home.

We pay respect to elders past, present and future and recognise these lands have always been places of traditional healing and medicine, and this plays a role in shaping future health services

Acknowledgement of Lived Experience

We acknowledge the profound contributions of individuals with lived and living experiences of mental health challenges, substance use, and suicide, as well as those who care for and support them. Each person’s journey is unique and adds invaluable insight into how we can collectively improve and reform mental health and suicide prevention systems.

We also remember those we have lost too soon, and recognise the lasting impact their absence leaves on their families, carers, and communities. Their stories, strength, and resilience guide us to confront stigma and ensure our efforts are informed by compassion, respect, and lived experience.
