About Us

Kurrungal Waiburra Indigenous Corporation seeks to respond to today’s challenges of nationhood and national identity in a way that comprehends the past and gives hope for the future.

As an Indigenous Corporation we are committed to both the spirit and the process of reconciliation between the Indigenous and the non-Indigenous peoples of Australia. In making this commitment we:

  • Embark on a journey of healing and justice.
  • Recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and the original carers of this land.
  • Acknowledge the loss of land, children and kin, languages and cultural identity and the impact this has upon Aboriginal health and wellbeing.
  • Believe that to move forward, all Australians must better understand the shared past and how it affects the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
  • Accept that reconciliation involves both a symbolic recognition of the honoured place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, as well the practical measures required to improve the health and whole of life experiences for all of our children, families and communities.
  • Appreciate the unique opportunity for all Australians today to embrace and to learn from the cultural richness of 40,000 years of an ancient living heritage, which belongs to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
  • Believe that all Australians deserve a fair go.
