✨ Staff Spotlight ✨

Meet Jackson, our Aboriginal Family Support Worker here at IAMS 🤎

What does working at IAMS mean to you?
“For me, working at the AMS means contributing to a community-focused organisation that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It’s about fostering a strong sense of connection and belonging within the Illawarra community.”

What advice would you give mob about looking after their health?
“Remember the importance of maintaining strong physical and emotional wellbeing. Eat healthy, clean foods when possible, and don’t be afraid to seek support from our local Elders and the amazing health services here at IAMS.”

Who or what inspires you in your career?
“The strength and resilience of our AMS team is powerful and motivates me every day. Standing alongside mob and supporting them on their healing journey inspires me to make better and healthier choices in my own life.”

We’re proud to have you on the team, Jackson 🙌🏽

Our Staff Cultural Day is more than just a day out of the office, it’s a reminder of who we are, why we do this work, and who we do it for.

We took time to learn, listen, and connect - to culture, Country, and to each other. Because when we slow down and ground ourselves in purpose, we show up stronger, more present, and more connected for our community.

This work isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are 🤎
