Welcome to the Noongar season, Djilba

Today marks the first day of Djilba (August to September) in the Noongar seasonal calendar. It’s a transitional time of year with some very cold and clear days combined with warmer, rainy and windy days. It is known as the season of conception.

HSS Cadet Jasmine Unno is here to share some of her kaartdijin (knowledge) about this season and Noongar culture in the video.

Sharing this kaartdijin is an important part of building Aboriginal cultural awareness at HSS to help create a culturally safe and inclusive environment that attracts Aboriginal people to our workforce. It also aligns with our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy which aims to create a workplace where all employees are seen, valued and respected.
