Biik Bilik

Biik Bilik features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories that are local to your (the players) area. Every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander group can customise existing stories or submit new stories to be featured on the platform through their local ACCO (Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation). Go to biikbilik.com.au for more info.

The platform was co-designed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Dandenong, Australia. It features Dandenong specific stories but over the coming months more stories will be added and customised to different locations in Australia.

Aunty Leah may be isolated throughout the pandemic, but she still plays an important role in Jimmys life. Throughout the game youll get introduced to local people that live in Dandenong and can support you and connect you to other (real life) locals.

Quirky characters youll meet in the game and that also exist in real life!
- Dr Hung, the resident GP (and GP of the year) at the Bunurong Health Services in Dandenong
- Stewart, The Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer in Dandenong
- Jenny, the CEO of the Dandenong District Aboriginal Co-Operative Limited.
- Nathan, the Youth Worker at Dandenong District Aboriginal Co-Operative Limited.

Biik Bilik is a place where Aboriginal communities can build out their stories and share them with others. If you identify as Aboriginal and live in Australia we invite you to share your story with us and we can build it into the game. We are currently working to expand and localise the game to all areas in Australia.
