Ngaanyatjarra Council

The Ngaanyatjarra Council is the principal organisation in a large conglomerate of Ngaanyatjarra service delivery organisations, some separately incorporated. The Council was separately incorporated in March 1981, under the Aboriginal Corporations Act.

Warburton, Irrunytju (Wingellina), Papulankutja (Blackstone), Mantamaru (Jameson), Warakurna, Tjirrkarli, Tjukurla, Wanarn, Kiwirrkurra, Cosmo Newberry, Patjarr and Pria Kata (Kanpa) are the current member communities of Ngaanyatjarra Council.

The main objective of the Council is to support the development of its members in all ways. The Council is directly involved in a variety of intiatives relating to health, education, training, employment, housing, law and justice matters, finance, land management and a variety of viable commercial enterprises. Ngaanyatjarra Council's operations are principally funded by grants from a range of Commonwealth and State Government ministries, noteably FaHCSIA.
