Cultural warning: EmPauR would like to advise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners that the following podcast may mention names of people who have gone before us into the stars and the dreaming.

In our first episode, we have conversations with Elders about what's important to them when a caregiver comes into their homes. We dive into their beliefs, hopes, and personal stories, discovering the key elements of caring with respect and kindness that pass down through the generations.

EmpauR acknowledges the Gimuy-walubrra yiddi (Gimuy walaburra indinji) people whose traditional lands this podcast has been recorded on.

We pay our respects to the ongoing cultural connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to hold with the land, sea and wind.

Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.

The music is a Traditional Torres Strait Islander song and was played by a proud Torres Strait Islander man and well-loved family member, who is unfortunately no longer with us.
