Kickstarting the Yarn Podcast

Key Assets Australia is proudly launching its first ever podcast. Kickstarting The Yarn is a Key Assets podcast hosted by Denice and Derek Kickett discussing topics related to everything First Nations; keeping children and young people in out-of-home care safe and connected to their kin, country and culture.

The podcast officially launches during NAIDOC Week 2022; where it will go live on Spotify, our Key Assets website, PodBean and our Key Assets social media channels.

The pilot episode of the podcast will be staring a celebrity guest, who also featured in the celebrity jungle (#I'mACelebrityAU) with Derek Kickett, is an ambassador for Lifeline and is very interested in learning more about First Nations culture.

Season 1 comprises of 10 episodes, where Denice + Derek take the opportunity to interview our Cultural Practice Leads and State Directors across the country. We learn about what's happening in each state, hear the impact of the work these teams are doing and get to know our people on a more personal level.

We will continue to keep you posted following our NAIDOC Week Launch!

ABC Breakfast's Interview with Dylan Lewis

ABC Breakfast's Dylan Lewis never expected to meet a future mentor in Derek Kickett while competing on reality tv in the jungle.

For this year's Naidoc Week, Derek's partner Denice Kickett spoke with Dylan on ABC Breakfast's Radio about the launch of a new podcast tackling some of the big issues facing First-Nation Australians.

Key Assets Australia deeply honours and celebrates the rich and enduring cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, recognising them as the oldest continuing cultures in the world. We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands and waters where we live and work. We recognise their profound spiritual connection to the land and pay heartfelt respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We acknowledge the deep trauma, grief, and loss experienced by these communities, both historically and presently, and commit to walking alongside them in support and solidarity.

Key Assets Australia is a non-government, not for profit, non-religious, children, family and community services agency. Our purpose is to achieve positive and lasting outcomes for children, families, and communities.
