Koori Mail
Produced fortnightly, Koori Mail is distributed Australia-wide, providing news, views, advertisements and other material of vital interest to Indigenous Australians and Australians interested in Indigenous affairs. Koori Mail has been produced this since 1991 and the newspaper has grown to the point where it is recognised as 'The Voice of Indigenous Australia'.
Koori Mail is not just a successful national publication - it's also a true Aboriginal success story.
The newspaper is owned jointly by five small Aboriginal organisations in Bundjalung country, on the far north coast of New South Wales. Every cent of profit made by the newspaper goes to Indigenous Australians - either in the form of dividends, sponsorships or scholarships to help our people.
Koori Mail has more than 90,000 readers every fortnight, a figure guaranteed by our Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) sold papers figure, as well as our own auditing. Koori Mail is 100 per cent Aboriginal owned and 100 per cent Aboriginal controlled.
CRC for Remote Economic Participation
The Cooperative Research Centre for Remote Economic Participation (CRC-REP) is a public good research centre that delivers solutions to economic disadvantage in remote Australia. We will begin operations on 1 July 2010, and are funded until 30 June 2017. The CRC-REP will systemically investigate and provide practical responses to the complex issues that drive economic participation in Australia's remote regions.
CRC-REP contributes to the Australian Government's national 'Closing The Gap' priority policy, which aims to halve the unemployment, welfare and other differences between Aboriginal people in remote areas and the rest of Australia. By studying and understanding the drivers and nature of the 'gap' the CRC will help overcome them.
The Centre has three goals:
- To develop new ways to build resilience and strengthen regional communities and economies across remote Australia
- To build new enterprises and strengthen existing industries that provide jobs, livelihoods and incomes in remote areas
- To improve the education and training pathways in remote areas so that people have better opportunities to participate in the range of economies that exist.
The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise
The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise was formed to foster cultural, social and community expression and assists to realise enhanced self-esteem and economic independence for Aboriginal people.
The Centre strives to enhance existing alliances between the Aboriginal community and the non-Aboriginal community in a show of collective unity, trust and openness about where we find ourselves and how we may address key issues for the future which will benefit all of us.
The Centre endeavours to generate new directions for the Aboriginal community to move beyond reliance on government agencies and other bureaucracies.

GenerationOne
GenerationOne is a movement for all Australians - Indigenous and non-Indigenous. It is a non-partisan movement and will listen to any and all contribution that can help break the poverty traps, in our generation. GenerationOne provides the opportunity for those who are already active to do more, and for those who have never participated in a campaign to play a simple role in achieving real change. It collaborates and promotes any other organisation that is doing good work in the fields of education, training, mentoring and employment.
GenerationOne works closely with our sister organisations - Australian Employment Covenant (AEC) which aims to gain commitments of 50,000 jobs for Indigenous Australians and the P-Plate program which links those AEC commitments with school children.
Indigenous Jobs Magazine
IndigenousJobsAustralia.com.au was developed by the Australian Indigenous Chamber of Commerce (Indigenous Chamber) and Fairfax Media and is powered by My Career.
Indigenousjobsaustralia.com.au is a national employment website dedicated to connecting Indigenous Australian job seekers with employers that are searching for Indigenous employees. It advertises jobs across all industry sectors.
It provides a purpose built employment website for the many businesses, organisations and government agencies who actively seek to employ Indigenous Australians. Indigenous candidates have access to employers who are committed to Indigenous employment.
The site benefits employers and employees alike, as no other internet jobs board caters exclusively to Indigenous job seekers.
