(Upbeat music introduces video with title)
Marg: Hi. I'm Marg. I'm an Aboriginal manager caseworker working in out-of-home care. I'm a proud Wiradjuri woman working on Wiradjuri land.
(Marg talks to other caseworkers in the office)
As a teacher, I found that I couldn't work with families as much as I wanted to, and that's why I became a DCJ Aboriginal caseworker. I find joy in keeping families and children connected to their land, their Country, and their traditions.

Please note that at DCJ we commonly use the word "Aboriginal", recognising that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants of NSW, the part of Australia we are responsible for. We acknowledge and respect that Torres Strait Islander people are among the First Nations of Australia and that both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are an important part of our staff and the communities we work with.
