We are proud to announce the opening of a new early childhood education and care service in Kununurra Western Australia, supported by the Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) restricted program.
The One Tree Wunan Garndim-banjelng Badang Yarrawoo Menewoolbtha service opened on 21 July 2025, marking a significant milestone for the community. To celebrate this achievement, an official launch of the service was held on 27 August 2025, bringing together the community and those involved in establishing this service to commemorate its successful opening. It is providing high-quality, culturally safe ECEC for up to 38 local children in the community.
The opening follows more than 2 years of dedicated community effort:
- led by the Wunan Foundation and One Tree Community Services
- supported by the Department of Education and SNAICC – National Voice for our Children.
The service’s name reflects community consultation and means ‘Growing strong roots for strong futures’.
We funded the service in 2023 as part of an almost $30 million expansion of the CCCF restricted grant.
SNAICC is the community partner for services set up under the grant, supporting the establishment and implementation of community-led and culturally safe ECEC.
