Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place

Mr FOWLES: I recently visited Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place in Ringwood East to meet CEO Elke Smirl, chair Karen Milward and their team and congratulate them on securing the purchase of their premises. Established in 2005, Mullum Mullum provides a culturally safe and inclusive space for Aboriginal Victorians in Melbourne’s east. In 2019 this government gave Mullum Mullum funding to explore their options for their organisation’s premises. They decided to purchase the existing premises and refit it, and we have made that possible with $4.4 million for that process.
