The Deadly Western Connections
The Aboriginal Services Network of the West (ASNoW) established the Deadly Western Connections website in 2021 to increase opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community connections and improve access to services in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

The Deadly Western Connections artwork was developed by Aboriginal Artist Dixon Patten

Deadly Communities

This is a meeting place for the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in western metropolitan Melbourne.
The site is an online only collaboration of various providers in the west and is therefore unable to accept donations.

Acknowledgement of Country and Traditional Owners


We recognise all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations of the lands now known as Australia. We acknowledge the people of the Wadawurrung, Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung languages in the Kulin Nation as the First Custodians of these grasslands, waterways and basalt plains.

For tens of thousands of years, the Werribee River has been a significant meeting place for a diversity of Aboriginal people to build community, exchange resources, and share responsibility for its lands. We pay respect to the wisdom of Ancestors and resilience of Elders, past and present. We recognise the ongoing impacts of colonisation for generations of Aboriginal people and this land. We commit ourselves to learning and working together to determine a better future, grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of caring for the whole earth community.
