About the rite
Inala’s Rite of Passage Ball follows about eight weeks of mentoring and dance preparation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth. Participants appear before families at the ball to celebrate readiness for adult life. ABC reporting on 9 October 2026 documented participants and a program history of roughly twenty years.
