CASG&FAC Staff
Manager ~ Jackie Baxter: is back for a 6 month tenure. We welcome her for her broad knowledge on Stolen Generations issues and acknowledge her hard work over many years in fighting for justice and compensation for our members as well as for other Stolen Generations people.
Link-Up Case Worker ~ Rick Jones: In early 2010 I started at CASG&FAC as a Link-Up Case Worker. The work is interesting, rewarding and I am lucky to be working with a great team of motivated individuals. There is a lot of travel involved and the reunion events are particularly rewarding to be a part of.
Link-Up Case Worker ~ Tellisa Ferguson: I'm a Local indigenous woman and am a third generation Stolen Generations descendant. I started at CASG&FAC in January 2010 as a Casual Administration Assistant (Link-Up) then in March I became full time as an Administration Assistant (Link-Up). Within the time I have been here I have worked with the Foxtrot database system to update all clients records & since February I helped with the St Mary's Reunion which was a success.
Personal Support Worker ~ Tori Markos: Hello my name is Victoria but everyone calls me Tori. After years of working as a counsellor and as an Indigenous mentor in the Pilbara, and previously in Alice Springs, I came to work for CASG&FAC to contribute to the Stolen Generations as pro- actively as I could. As a unique group of Indigenous Australians I am privileged to be able to offer personal support to you in the form of community liaison, personal listening, social needs and representation; in any aspect of life where you would appreciate confidential assistance. I look forward to knowing you all when our Support Group commences.
Personal Support Worker ~ Wahid Brandso: Hi everyone, I am a new member of the CASG&FAC team and have lived in Central Australia for 10 years, adding to the professional service offered to the Stolen Generations and their families. I come from a mixed cultural background with a past history of living in different countries. I feel privileged and honoured to be working at CASG&FAC and look forward to listening to the many life stories that will help bring people home.
Project Officer ~ Derek Ah Chee-McInnes: I am a local Aboriginal youngfella from Alice Springs and am from the Arrente & Pitjantjatjara tribes of Central Australia. I commenced employment as the Receptionist in mid April 2010 and since March 2011 moved over to the role of Link-Up Administration Assistant and have now been promoted to undertake the role of the CASG&FAC Project Officer. I have always wanted to work with the CASG&FAC organisation since the reunion of my Ah Chee & Gibbs families in 2006 which was a great success. My current role is to provide administrative support to the Manager and Board where needed as well as the Link-Up program. I find my current work status very interesting and am very glad to be working with such a great supportive team. I was involved in the St Mary's Reunion and it was my first experience in this field. I have since participated in many other community events and reunions. I look forward to working with you all...
