Ngawilyi Narrative is an emerging organisation. Programs are being shaped through community consultation. Expressions of interest and pilot partnerships are now open.

Ngawilyi means "Aunty" in Arabana language. The use of Arabana language and authorisation for this name and program has been provided through Arabana Elders and the Arabana Aboriginal Corporation. We acknowledge the Arabana people and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live, work and yarn, and pay respect to Elders past and present. Ngawilyi Narrative does not claim cultural authority for other Aboriginal Nations.
