Bari is our Aboriginal Youth program, which is short for Baribunmani Wanyi Ngay and translates to “I dreamed of you”. Bari is intended to inspire and encourage students to reach for their dreams, all while promoting future careers within health.
Bari is aimed at Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander high school students in Year 8 to year 12 the objective of the Bari program is to encourage Aboriginal high school students to consider a career in health. The long term objective of Bari is to increase the number of Aboriginal people employed in the Health workforce in the NSW North Coast, thereby improving the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We offer half day sessions held at the UCRH, so that high school students become familiar with a tertiary learning environment, get a chance to learn a new health related skill in our state of the art simulation centre and hear from Aboriginal Community members who are currently working within health.
We also provide support to schools by with organising transport and catering at this event.
