The staff at Chartair are observing National Reconciliation Week 2022 to create conversations around how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

We interviewed our staff member Jaylene – a proud Nyoongar woman who grew up in Darwin on Larrakia land, to hear about her stories and thoughts about National Reconciliation.

As regular visitors to Aboriginal Lands, we confirm our diligence and support to understand the complexities associated with the roles and responsibilities of the various land management and cultural heritage regulatory authorities. Through building long-lasting relationships with the Aboriginal communities and people in the areas where we operate, we strive to achieve a positive change.

We support the procedures for the conservation of Aboriginal cultural heritage, and our commitment to connecting community remains at the forefront of our business.

Here's Jaylene’s story:

Hi, my name’s Jaylene and I’m the newest member of the Chartair team. I work in operations in head office, and have been with the company for about two months. 

Born in Darwin, I grew up here and in Perth. Dad is a Nyoongar man, from a small town called York. some 90 km from Perth. Mum was also born in Darwin; her dad is a Torres Strait Islander, and my grandmother is part of the Gurindji People from Wave Hill – 500 km southwest of Katherine. I recently lived on the Tiwi Islands for a few years, and that was a great experience.
