Why did we create Peeneyt Bubup? And how do Kinship carers keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people connected to Culture, Country, Community and Kin?

That’s what our deadly host Uncle Charles Pakana puts to Sheree Lowe, Executive Director of VACCHO's Balit Durn Durn Centre – along with the ways mainstream society often overlook and undervalue Kinship carers’ work.

This is your first taste of Peeneyt Bubup. Over the next eight episodes, expect meaningful yarns with Kinship carers, paediatricians, psychologists and more.

Welcome to Peeneyt Bubup.

Join staunch Aboriginal Elder Uncle Charles Pakana and guests each week as they yarn up all things Kinship caring – the joy of it, the weight of it, and how carers can get the support they need. 

Over nine episodes, you’ll hear from Kinship carers, Community leaders, paediatricians, psychologists and other experts.  

New episodes drop fortnightly from 21 August 2026. 

“Our Boorai and young ones are a gift from our Ancestors. It’s our role to care for the young ones in a system that is not built for our Community.”
