National Indigenous Times
The National Indigenous Times first hit the streets on February 27, 2002. It was born of a dream by Owen Carriage, the original founder of the Koori Mail, and a group of other Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
The paper is staffed and owned by black and white Australians. It does not, and has never, received Government grants or funding to survive. When we first launched the paper, we made two promises to our readers: That we would do our best to help build a bridge between black and white Australia.
That we wouldn't shy away from reporting the tough issues. The first promise, surprisingly, has been the easiest part. In Australia, there exists a genuine belief among most that the ongoing prosperity of this nation lies in our ability to face up to our past. So 'helping to build a bridge' between both parties hasn't been all that tough. In fact, it's been very rewarding, although we acknowledge it's an ongoing project that will undoubtedly outlive all of the staff and owners of NIT.
Australian Policy Online
APO is a news service and library specialising in Australian public policy reports and articles from academic research centres, think tanks, government and non-government organisations. The site features opinion and commentary pieces, video, audio and web resources focused on the policy issues facing Australia.
The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise
The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise was formed to foster cultural, social and community expression and assists to realise enhanced self-esteem and economic independence for Aboriginal people.
The Centre strives to enhance existing alliances between the Aboriginal community and the non-Aboriginal community in a show of collective unity, trust and openness about where we find ourselves and how we may address key issues for the future which will benefit all of us.
The Centre endeavours to generate new directions for the Aboriginal community to move beyond reliance on government agencies and other bureaucracies.
Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place Association
The Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place Association Committee of Management was established on 19th August, 2002 following the disbandment of the Wurreka Parruk Kuli Association, and was formally incorporated on 20th November, 2002. The Honourable Gavin Jennings, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, officially launched The Gathering Place on 22nd October, 2003.
With no existing services in the Western Region to cater for the 3,329 indigenous residents, the aim of The Gathering Place is to provide services and programs to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community residing within the catchment areas of Maribyrnong, Hobson's Bay and the Shire of Melton, Brimbank, Wyndham and Moonee Valley.
Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation
Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation was established in 1992. It is an independent, Aboriginal-controlled health service administered by a Board of Directors representing communities across the Miwatj region in East Arnhem Land.
Miwatj Health has its administrative base in the town of Nhulunbuy, in the Northern Territory of Australia. Our clinics are located in Nhulunbuy, Gunyangara (also known as Marngarr) and Galiwin'ku, providing a walk-in service for all acute and preventive care needs. In addition to these fixed clinics, our outreach teams provide a regular visiting service to a number of nearby communities including Birritjimi, Galupa, Gunyangara, Garrathiya Plains, Yirrkala, and within the Galiwin'ku community.
