Marra Worra Worra—Supporting the community

Over the last decade Marra Worra Worra, in partnership with community organisations in the area, has been at the forefront of the push for Aboriginal economic independence for the region. The result of this is that a large portion of the economy of Fitzroy Crossing is now controlled by Indigenous interests.

Based in Fitzroy Crossing, Marra Worra Worra is the oldest and largest Aboriginal resource agency in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation

The Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (WDNWPT) represents Yanangu families on dialysis and helps them to develop renal services in their home communities so they no longer have to move permanently to Alice Springs for treatment. It makes sense then that in Pintupi ‘nganampa walytja palyantjaku tjutaku’ literally means ‘making all our families well’.
