We are in the business of solutions
Currie Country Social Change was established in response to fires, and an identified need for a First Nations controlled and managed charitable organisation in Bundjalung Country operating with an Aboriginal worldview dedicated to environmental, cultural and economic sustainability.
WHO WE ARE
Currie Country Social Change - Founded by descendants of the original custodians of parts of the Tweed and SE Queensland, members of the Bundjalung and Yugambeh Nations, Currie Country Social Change seeks to open pathways for intergenerational change through a sustainable future:
economic participation
environmental and natural resource management and
spiritual connection to country.
We seek to:
To lead for the benefit of all
To help others change their views
Currie Country Social Change will support and engage in culturally-centred advocacy for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples in the Northern NSW and SE Qld regions, where that advocacy will assist in improving the circumstances of vulnerable community members.
Currie Country Social Change is deeply connected to multiple clans of the Bundjalung and Yugembeh Nations and across NSW and QLD and other Nations and territories throughout Australia.
Currie County Social Change has regular dialogue with local and regional organisations in order to understand service delivery gaps and to be able to collaborate on the design and delivery of programs, from housing to social and community development, that will ensure that First Nations peoples are supported and lifted into thriving independence.
