The official City of Greater Geelong page lists Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative Open Day for Monday 21 September 2026 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm at Norlane ARC, 1-9 Cox Road, Norlane. The page lists the cost as free.\n\nThe source-backed purpose is clear: the page asks whether visitors know what Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative does, whether there are services they can access, and whether people already connected want to understand what other programs are available. It says the open day is being held so people can learn about the organisation, with information, activations and a chance to yarn with staff members from all areas of the organisation.\n\nThat makes the visit useful for locals who need a low-pressure way to understand programs before making a more specific enquiry. It may suit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, families, carers, service workers, school or youth-support contacts, and residents who are already connected with one area of the organisation but want a broader picture. Keep the plan respectful and practical: arrive with the questions you need answered, ask which program area is the right next step, and avoid expecting every personal matter to be resolved during an open public event.\n\nPlan around the long daytime window. A 11:00 am to 6:00 pm listing gives some flexibility for people balancing work, school pickup or care responsibilities, but the source does not prove a detailed running order. If a particular activation, staff area, accessibility requirement or support conversation matters, check the live page or the linked Wathaurong event information before leaving. The City page lists facilities including change room facilities, parking, toilets and wheelchair accessible access, but confirm current suitability if those details decide whether the visit works for you.\n\nFor visitors, this guide is mainly relevant if they are supporting someone locally or trying to understand Greater Geelong community services. For locals, it is stronger than a generic open-day note because it points to a free Norlane services-and-programs conversation with staff from across the organisation. The source supports the event name, date, time, venue, free cost, services/programs framing, information, activations, staff conversations, category and listed facilities. It does not prove eligibility, individual advice, appointment availability, transport, final program order or any service outcome.","https://www.geelongcity.vic.gov.au/whats-happening/events/wathaurong-aboriginal-co-operative-open-day","2026-09-06T06:12:00+10:00",1789428632247]
