Ngwala Willumbong Aboriginal Corporation

Over the last two days, a bunch of our team gathered at Port Melbourne Yacht Club for our Staff In Service 🌟

We'll be sharing some of the highlights and key moments - exciting things are happening at Ngwala! Stay tuned for updates ❤

Come along at 11am TOMORROW to 14 Risley Street, Richmond and celebrate the opening of our new North & West Office! There will be food, refreshments, cultural activities, and more! 🥳

Recently, our Elders Lunch took place at our Richmond office. It was a wonderful and very successful day, filled with laughter, yarning, and connection ❤

We were fortunate to have our special guest - Alice Wickey from Ngwala - share her talented and creative weaving skills. After a delicious lunch, we enjoyed a game of bingo, with Aunty Connie Harrison and Aunty Judy Singleton taking home the prizes.

Our local Elders continue to look forward to these gatherings and never fail to ask when the next lunch will be held. It’s wonderful to see how much they value the opportunity to come together and enjoy each other’s company 🥰

Grab the whole family and join us to celebrate culture and community at our NAIDOC Family Day! In collaboration Barrbunin Beek Aboriginal Gathering Place, we are excited to bring you this fun-filled event ❤

📆 Wednesday 1 July, 12pm - 3pm
📍 Barrbunin Beek, 55 Catalina Street, Heidelberg West

Today we acknowledge and celebrate the 34th anniversary of Mabo Day.

This day carries deep meaning for our communities. It honours the strength of our old people and the truth they have always carried.

We pay respect to Eddie Koiki Mabo and the Torres Strait Islander families whose courage led to the landmark 1992 High Court decision, recognising what was never surrendered.

Mabo Day reminds us that our connection to Country, culture and community remains strong, and that when we stand together, we continue to create change for our people.

At Ngwala, we carry this spirit forward in all that we do, with respect, strength and self-determination, walking alongside community every day.

We walk in the footsteps of giants, and we strive to honour their legacy through the work we do today.

Did somebody say coffee, culture and career pathways? We had a blast bringing Ngwala to the 2026 Be Deadly Jobs Expo, an event that merged cultural celebration with professional opportunities.

A huge group of Ngwala staff enjoyed yarning with community at our stall, sharing warm bevvies from our coffee van, and even having a bop to Mitch Tambo's performance!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat about our work and sharing your aspirations for the future! Thanks to Opendoor for organising the day and the Aborigines Advancement League Inc. Vic for hosting this incredible event 🌟

This year, the theme for National Reconciliation Week is ALL IN.

For us, this not a slogan – it’s how we live and work. This week is about our people and showing up for mob.

We show up for our people. We stand steady in the hard moments, and we walk together side by side.

That’s what this week is about: different journeys, same connection.

We’re ALL IN.
