Gnokan Danna Murra Kor-Ki (Give me your hand my friend)
Our vision is to live in a society where Aboriginal culture and history are a fundamental part of Victorian life.
Our purpose is to promote, support and celebrate the continuing journey of the Aboriginal people of South Eastern Australia.
We believe that through education and promotion, we can raise awareness and appreciation of the cultural diversity of Koorie culture, actively work to bridge the cultural gap between the Koorie and wider communities, and meet the broader goal of reconciliation for all Australians.
Your support is crucial in enabling us to continue to provide a culturally safe place for the Koorie and non-Koorie community to meet, learn about and share our Koorie cultural heritage and to protect that heritage for future generations. Thank you for choosing to support us.
