Meet Doug Thomson

This year, as part of our 75th year, we have invited six CPL Group clients to share their life’s story in their own words. This National Reconciliation Week, we’re pleased to share the first story, from proud Aboriginal man Doug Thomson.
Doug has been a client of Cootharinga and CPL since his early childhood, and we’re grateful to Doug for entrusting us with his story. Throughout this video, Doug’s love for his community and his family shines through, and we hope by sharing it we can amplify his voice and create understanding of his experience.

The CPL Group acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their unique cultural and spiritual relationship to land, water, and seas and their rich contribution to society.
