The engagement concluded with a constructive meeting focused on reinforcing existing collaboration and exploring new opportunities for partnership. Discussions centred on how both organisations can continue working together to support growth, representation, and future pathways for African Australians through media, advocacy, and strategic engagement.
OACWA reaffirmed its commitment to building strong, values-driven partnerships that contribute to positive social outcomes and strengthen the collective voice of African communities in Western Australia. The continued collaboration with Paydirt Media stands as an example of how cross-sector partnerships can drive meaningful impact and long-term community development.
