Phoenix James has formally advised the Nunkuwarrin Yunti Board of Directors of his intention to step down as CEO effective immediately. We would like to thank Phoenix for his dedicated service over the past 10 months, including 4 months as Acting Executive, Corporate Services and 7 months as Acting CEO. We wish him all the best for the future.
Deputy Chairperson, Ken Tilbrook, has been appointed as the Acting CEO to lead Nunkuwarrin Yunti during this transition period. Ken has been on the Board of Directors for nearly 10 years and brings a wealth of experience. He has been closely involved with the Redress scheme in the past and was also a part of the Royal Commission into Abuse and Government Care.
“I am honoured to lead Nunkuwarrin Yunti during this transition period,” said Ken. ” Our shared goal is to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and by working together, we can continue to make a significant impact in our community.”
A national recruitment process for a permanent CEO will commence shortly.
Nunkuwarrin Yunti are excited to announce the opening of our new location at 233 Sturt Road, Marion 5043, following the closure of 17 Beach Road, Christies Beach office.
This new space will house both the mental health service, Paanthi, and the Australian Nursing Partnership Program.
The co-location of Nunkuwarrin Yunti with Sonder and headspace will create a comprehensive hub for mental health and wellbeing services in the Marion community.
The new location offers a modern and welcoming environment, designed to promote healing and recovery. You can see images of the new space below.
