About Us

Woomera Aboriginal Corporation is a community based not-for-profit organisation founded in 1990 that offers a range of housing, early education, out of home care and targeted early intervention services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Albury and surrounds.

The Corporation is registered with the Office of the Registration of Indigenous Corporation (ORIC) under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act).

Our Vision

We are committed to acknowledging and strengthening the identity, autonomy, and culture of our First Nations communities, ensuring families are informed and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing; and have opportunities to receive appropriate support relevant to their circumstances, in an honest and safe environment. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to inspire and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities by fostering their leadership skills and preserving their cultural identity. We believe that everyone deserves access to housing, education, and early intervention services, especially families and young people. We can create positive change by respecting cultural practices and participating in community activities. The guidance of our Elders is invaluable to us, and we honour their wisdom in all our initiatives.
