Our approach

to working with First Nations communities is based on self-determination

 
 
 
 

FUNDRAISING APPEAL

Now more than ever our collective efforts are essential in the ongoing pursuit of First Nations’ rights and recognition.

We partner with incredible community-led projects like the Ration Shed Museum in Queensland, which has turned its lived history into strength; and Baluk Arts in Victoria, which provides a safe space for Aboriginal artists to create and share their culture.

Together, we can support a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, history, knowledge, and contributions are recognised and respected.
