Nirrumbuk Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) is a Broome based community driven by aboriginal membership predominantly derived from the Dampier Peninsular Region, North of Broome. The organisation’s primary objectives are to build the capacity of the aboriginal community and individuals of the region. Established in 1993, NAC is registered as an Australian Public Benevolent Institution and not-for-profit organisation.
To end hardship, suffering, and helplessness in indigenous people within the Kimberley Region by building capacity and fostering self sufficiency.
For Service Members, Member Communities, and indigenous people within the Kimberley: we assist with cultural development, employment, training, sustainable environmental health, and social and economic opportunities. We aim to achieve self-sufficiency, self-management, and a better standard of living.
We never lose sight of our traditional Aboriginal culture. We collaborate with individuals, communities, organisations, and the government to build a better future for Aboriginal people in the Kimberley. We are adaptable, and strive for sustainable growth to support Aboriginal communities in the long term.
Nirrumbuk is managed and owned by Aboriginal members, with a board consisting of 11 Indigenous people from Broome and the Dampier Peninsula. The CEO of Nirrumbuk is Joe Grande, who has over 20 years of experience working with indigenous organisations.
NIRRUMBUK (Nyul Nyul Language) is the largest permanent fresh water spring on the Dampier Peninsular. Prior to settlement, the Aboriginal Nations of the region would sustain themselves from the spring for a permanent source of water and food.
The Nirrumbuk name was chosen to reflect the corporation’s membership and its objectives: to sustain our people in the modern context. We provide the opportunity for development that enables participation in Australian society through training, employment, economic development, and infrastructure provision.
Nirrumbuk is immensely proud of the achievements of those who have utilised our programmes and services.
Nirrumbuk has partnered with the Western Australian Department of Health to offer an Environmental Health Program.
We aim to educate the Kimberley’s communities about environmental health issues and promote sustainable environmental health practices.
Services are tailored to meet the requirements of each location through community environmental health action plans.
Nirrumbuk Environmental and Health Services, in partnership with the Department of Housing, delivers the Support and Tenancy Education Program (STEP) to the Kimberley region.
Through STEP, eligible tenants can receive education and case management to improve their living skills, independently manage their tenancies, and reduce the likelihood of homelessness.
Through our Aboriginal Counselling Service, Pinakarra, we assist youths with their issues and needs that they may be facing in today’s society.
At Pinakarra we believe small steps make big change. We work one on one with individuals from all backgrounds and develop a case management plan which works for them. We support and coach them through the steps needed to help them make positive changes for themselves and their families.
