📢 The Kimberley Counts – Census 2026 Let’s make sure everyone in the Kimberley is counted! 💜 Completing the Census helps our communities receive funding for important services such as healthcare, housing, education, roads and transport, and recreation. 📍 Need help with your Census? There is an office located next to Chicken Treat in Broome where you can get assistance with Census paperwork, completing your form, and any Census-related questions. Please share and help spread the word throughout our community. 😊

About Us
Nirrumbuk Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) is a Broome-based, community-led organisation grounded in strong Aboriginal membership, predominantly from the Dampier Peninsula region north of Broome. The organisation is dedicated to strengthening the capacity of Aboriginal individuals and communities across the Kimberley.
Established in 1993, NAC is a registered Australian Public Benevolent Institution and not-for-profit organisation, with over three decades of experience delivering meaningful, community-driven outcomes for Aboriginal people.
Our work is centred on fostering self-sufficiency, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. We focus on key areas including health, housing, education, training, and employment, recognising these as essential foundations for sustainable development and improved quality of life.
Nirrumbuk is Aboriginal-owned and governed, with a Board of 12 Aboriginal members representing Broome and the Dampier Peninsula. This governance structure ensures the organisation remains culturally grounded, community-focused, and responsive to the aspirations and needs of the people it serves.
Our Name and Our Logo
Nirrumbuk, derived from the Nyul Nyul language, refers to the largest permanent freshwater spring on the Dampier Peninsula. For generations prior to settlement, Aboriginal Nations of the region relied on this spring as a vital and enduring source of water, food, and sustenance.
The name Nirrumbuk was thoughtfully chosen to reflect both the cultural heritage of its membership and the organisation’s enduring purpose. Just as the spring sustained communities in the past, Nirrumbuk Aboriginal Corporation is committed to supporting and strengthening Aboriginal people in a contemporary context.
Through initiatives focused on training, employment, economic development, and infrastructure, Nirrumbuk creates opportunities that enable meaningful participation in Australian society. In doing so, the organisation continues the legacy of sustenance—empowering individuals and communities to grow, thrive, and achieve long-term self-sufficiency.
