Dhuga-y is the Wayilwan word meaning to “do satisfyingly”

WWA events are facilitated and delivered satisfyingly.

WWA strategically partners with organisations to grow opportunities for youth performance and participation in local events. Events which include First Nations youth are empowering to our mob and support the dismantling of systemic racism.
