The partnership between Yambuk and Greater Western Water in Sunbury and Melton represents a powerful commitment to creating meaningful pathways for young First Nations people in the Water and Sewage sector. By working collaboratively, Yambuk and GWW are opening doors for hands-on learning, skill development, and long-term employment opportunities at the Melton and Sunbury depots. Participants are gaining invaluable on-the-ground experience, learning directly from dedicated professionals, and developing a strong understanding of essential water and sewage operations.
The support provided by the Melton depot team, including Jimmy and his colleagues, has been instrumental in fostering a welcoming and culturally safe environment where young First Nations people can thrive. Through mentorship, teamwork, and shared knowledge, this partnership is helping build confidence, capability, and pride among participants as they prepare for future careers in the industry.
Greater Western Water’s ongoing commitment demonstrates leadership in reconciliation and workforce inclusion, setting a strong example for other organisations to follow. Their support of Yambuk and First Nations communities highlights the importance of collaboration, respect, and opportunity in creating positive outcomes for future generations.
