This year, approximately 80% of OVP program participants were Indigenous. Programs support the expression, preservation and maintenance of Indigenous culture, through Indigenous cultural activities (language, dance, music production, ceremony) that are utilised to produce music film clips.

The publication of these music videos generates a diverse and relatable record of Indigenous culture, language and arts,
easily accessible online for communities to share, educate and take pride in culture together.

OVP is incredibly proud of the local Northern Rivers program participants and Indigenous hip-hop group, Indigenoise, who have signed with a record label. They now perform as Aboriginal cultural ambassadors on the world stage (including, Splendour In The Grass and Burning Man), impressing international audiences with their powerful stage presence, sociopolitical lyrics, and musical talent.  OVP programs reconnect youth with Country, community and culture, often igniting a newfound purpose for them. OVP recognises that central to the success of programs is the emphasis on selfdetermination and agency, through health and wellness information and tools, and the opportunity to learn skills that aid employability and inspire further education options.

Founder and Director, Mark Robertson, was awarded Young Social Pioneer of the Year for his work with extremely disengaged Indigenous youth. Mark’s life experience informs his unique, innovative and award-winning approach to social work and recovery paradigms. Programs are developed with cultural sensitivity and in alignment with the National Indigenous Strategic Framework, set by the National Indigenous Australiansn Agency (NIAA). NIAA cites OVP as an example of program best practice, stating that OVP programs are ‘of a high quality and provide a clear and accurate
picture of attendance and retention’.
