ENABLING THE CHANGE... IT’S WHO WE ARE.

OUR MISSION

To improve the outlook for Aboriginal Australians we must work together to reduce the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in our society.

We can achieve this by empowering and building capacity among Aboriginal people and their communities.

models and healthy life choices. The Foundation has established a number of successful
