In partnership with Mungallah Community Aboriginal Corporation (MCAC) we have been very fortunate to support and facilitate SHERP (The Social Housing Economic Recovery Package Grants Program) to its community members living at Mungallah in Carnarvon.
SHERP will provide $92.8 million for new and upgraded community housing for hundreds of WA residents. This includes new housing construction projects and refurbishment works which will create more fit-for-purpose homes to help address the State’s increasing social housing demands, along with specific funding for maintenance works in remote Aboriginal communities.
The initial SHERP community function at Mungullah was a resounding success with over 40 adults attending and discussing the project and what they can expect. Many of the attendees also made a start on exciting choices for their houses.
The MCAC committee invited Landscape Architect Steve Vigilante, who attended the event and provided exciting suggestions as to how to improve residents' properties and larger communal areas. A delicious BBQ was provided and all who attended experienced a real energy about this project and the positive benefits it will bring to the community.
Well done to the MCAC committee members for their ongoing commitment and drive to maximise outcomes for its community and residents. ABC Foundation happily supports your vision for a brighter future.
Helen Slater (Chairperson) & Alison Sentance (CEO) traveled to Gulkula to celebrate the cultural, artistic and ceremonial traditions of the Yolngu people in remote Arnhem Land.
Garma is Australia’s leading Indigenous cultural exchange event and they were fortunate enough to meet some key players in indigenous affairs.
This week we are excited to be in Kalgoorlie to deliver the second round of AWRAE (Aboriginal Women’s Research and Evaluation Training Project.)
This program was successfully launched in 2021 and creates employment pathways and empowerment for Aboriginal women in remote communities through training and data collection and analysis of On-Country programs. AWRAE will be expanding nationally very soon, providing a great opportunity for employment and empowerment of Indigenous women in other remote communities across Australia. We encourage interested organisations who have research and / or evaluation projects in remote Australia to get in contact with our AWRAE General Manager, Caroline Neeling. Email: caroline@abcau.com.au or Phone: 0457 291 059 for further information.
Our Chairperson and CEO were thrilled to attend the Garma Festival on the weekend.
Helen Slater (Chairperson) & Alison Sentance (CEO) were immersed in celebration of the cultural, artistic and ceremonial traditions of the Yolngu people in remote Arnhem Land.
The over-riding artistic vision and cultural mission of Garma is to provide a contemporary environment for the expression and presentation of traditional Yolngu knowledge systems and customs and to share these practices in an authentic Yolngu setting.
Many would be aware that during the festival, the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, delivered a very powerful speech to build momentum behind his “simple and clear” proposition to change the constitution to enshrine an Indigenous voice.
Chairperson Helen Slater says “A voice to Parliament provides the foundation for better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people”.

Mungullah Community Aboriginal Corporation, supported by its partner ABC Foundation, has created local jobs in the community on a basketball refurbishment project, thanks to state government funding.
This 12 week project has not only created a safe and much needed recreational space for the community, but has put local jobs first! And this is just the start for the community with more build projects scheduled over the next two years. We'll done Mungullah we are proud to be working with you guys.
