Paul is a member of the Warlpiri Aboriginal nation, who are based in the Tanami desert of the Northern Territory. He returned to live on country in his early twenties. During his stay he completed all cultural obligations and was able to visit and work on many remote communities. Today he lives in Adelaide with his family where he has worked in forensic mental health for many years. He holds a Masters of Narrative Therapy and Community Work through Melbourne University and has spoken at local, national and international events. His goal is to share his unique cultural knowledge and experience with others, in a way that is currently not being done, and that would make his family proud.

Pirlpa

Pirlpa is named after my grandma. She always looked after me and made me feel safe and secure. She was as fiery as hell, and was ready to provide love taps whenever needed. Through my work I want her to live on and continue to protect and guide me and others and in return, she will always be loved and never forgotten. Pirlpa is the third lady from the left, holding my mother.
