How This Charity Supports the Community
Yalu Aboriginal Corporation is a Yolŋu-driven organisation based in Galiwin’ku, East Arnhem Land, dedicated to nurturing and supporting Yolŋu cultural practices, language, and wellbeing. Established originally as a research hub, it has evolved into a central community organisation delivering grassroots services and programs that are culturally appropriate and led by local Yolŋu decision makers. The corporation operates with a strong commitment to Yolŋu values of harmony, sharing, and respect, ensuring that its work is deeply connected to Yolŋu law (rom) and wellbeing (Walŋa).
Mission and Vision
