Alex Hohoi, Jessica Tapp and Annette Hubber are the newest staff members to join the First Languages Australia team.

Over the next two years, we will be consulting with communities across Australia to prepare a plan to strengthen the languages sector. To support this process, we are looking two new excellent and community connected people to support this work.

If you have your own children’s song that includes your language, or you are a performer who would enjoy the chance to sing one of the songs chosen for the program, please send us a video of yourself singing (and playing if you are also a musician). A short video from your phone is fine.
