How This Charity Supports the Community
Nestled at the foot of Mount Beerwah in the Glass House Mountains, the Nungeena Aboriginal Corporation for Women’s Business is a sanctuary dedicated to the healing, empowerment, and cultural preservation of Aboriginal women. For over three decades, it has provided a safe, culturally significant space where women can reconnect with their heritage, participate in traditional practices, and access support tailored to their unique needs. The organisation is deeply rooted in local Indigenous traditions, with the land itself historically serving as a sacred birthing ground and a place of spiritual renewal.
