An ever-evolving role in remote community wellbeing
Since 1989, Jungarni-Jutiya Indigenous Corporation has supported the safety and wellbeing of families who live in remote parts of northeast WA. The name ‘Jungarni-Jutiya’ means ‘straight path’ in Jaru language – Jaru and Kija peoples are the Traditional Owners of the surrounding lands.

PAMS teams understand and consider the spiritual, social, economic and cultural wellbeing in overall health. This personal approach to healthcare assists with client treatment while also supporting everything surrounding getting treatment, whether it’s travel, health education or family support.
In 2022–23, PAMS provided 42,000 services and supported the health of nearly 4,500 Aboriginal people in the East Pilbara region, including in the communities of Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji and Newman.
The voices of all generations combine for a stronger community
In Northwest Queensland on Kalkadoon Country, in the town of Mount Isa, the team at Mithangkaya Nguli (‘To Always Stand Up for Something’ in Kalkatungu language) – Young People Ahead (MNYPA) is leading strong children and youth programs with community voices at the centre.
The corporation was founded on a collective desire to make a space for Aboriginal people facing challenges, particularly children and young people at risk. Its founding Elders envisioned a platform that would empower children and young people, help them grow, and build a strong sense of community.
Walking together on the path of justice
The team at Marigurim Yalaam Indigenous Corporation for Community Justice (MYICCJ) is working tirelessly towards a better future in justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
MYICCJ has come a long way in the past 2 years. From being on the brink of folding in 2021, the board, including one community Elder and people who work in a variety of areas, worked with ORIC to get MYICCJ back up and running to thriving – where it is today.
