MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Martula range of PPE and Safety Supplies from Your Safety Factory is very special to us. It is just one of the ways we’re working with our customers to make a difference to the lives of Indigenous people around the country.

Circular Head is the name for the collective north-west area of the mainland of Tasmania, including the towns of Smithton and Stanley.

With more than 8,000 people in the area, Circular Head has a large population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders that numbers more than five times the national average.

Since 1994, the Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC) has been providing essential educational and support services to the area’s large indigenous community, including in the fields of youth mental health and family violence, drug and alcohol awareness, prisoner rehabilitation, early childhood education and the facilitation of work placements.

In their 30 years of work, CHAC has grown into an organisation whose mission is to embrace the area’s culture whilst inspiring and empowering Aboriginal people.

Thank you to Your Safety Factory for helping to make a difference in the lives of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within the Circular Head community. With the help from the contributions that are made through the Martula sales, the Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation is able to deliver a weekly Men’s Health & Wellbeing Group that provides a space for local men to come together to yarn, share stories and support one another over a nutritious meal. This provides these men with the opportunity for that social support and contact that they otherwise would not have.

Equally as important is the contribution to our cultural programs, which go toward resources and materials to enhance experiences. The Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation’s culture program delivers many cultural activities and on-country experiences to all the local schools in the Circular Head community. Sharing this knowledge to the younger generations ensures the culture’s survival and longevity as it is a pivotal part of cultural practice to share stories and knowledge from one generation to another.

Thank you to Your Safety Factory, for helping to make that a reality for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Circular Head, but also for the community at large, for knowledge, understanding and respect are the greatest tools in reconciliation.

Supporting charity is important to Your Safety Factory, and with heritage ties to Circular Head, we are proud to provide donations to the Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC).

Martula is the Aboriginal name for the Circular Head region, and we are proud to have developed our unique and distinct Martula range of products, with direct donations made to CHAC against sales of each product. Your support of our Martula range will help us make a difference to the Indigenous people of Circular Head.
