Our Impact

We are the only organisation in our region owned, managed and staffed by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. People who live or are connected to our community, people who understand the culture, the reality and the rich lived experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Inala and the surrounding suburbs.

Our programs, services, deliverables and, indeed all contact with our community, is grounded in Indigenous self-determination and cultural values, enabling our community to WALK TALL – United in Pride, Self and Culture.

We provide important linkage services enabling our community members to access social, health and human services.

We are the first point of call for a range Government and non-Government departments delivering front-line services into the South-West region, providing expert cultural and community advice and engagement.

 We make a difference because we are different.

From 2018 – 2019 our numbers accessing this program have increased by 42%.

The number of Elders and respected persons sitting on the Murri Court has increased by 85% and in 2019 this program has a 77% successful completion rate with only 3% of participants reoffending.

This means that over ¾ of the people who committed to this program have remained out of correctional facilities.

This program started with a pilot delivery at Inala State School and on the success of this delivery we have now increased the funding stream and are delivering into over five schools in the area.

Our workshop program and debutante ball has been delivered for nearly ten years. Over this time we have engaged with over 200 young people providing health and emotional wellbeing information, ball room dancing lessons and cultural knowledge. 100% of those participants who have connected with this program have graduated from high school with 97% of them currently in meaningful careers.

When we took over the football club they had only 2 teams. Last season we had 14 teams including girls, womens and a Masters team. We have also recently completed building a new female friendly facility ensuring that everyone is welcome.
