Indigenous Languages

More than 100 indigenous languages have been lost since Federation and the remaining 200 are critical to restoring cultural identity and addressing underlying social concerns. 

This project will benefit 980,000 Indigenous Australians and the tens of thousands of teachers, allied health providers, government agencies, infrastructure services providers (power, water, comms, data, roads, builders) local businesses and tourists who interact with them.  

It will open doors of understanding and respect between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples for generations to come.

$6.2m spent over three years will:

• record local indigenous phonics, words, phrases and stories into short, teachable topics for the 56 largest language groups in a single eLearning platform.

• deliver a library of secure topics - both public and private - to students within each language group.

• deliver a subset of secure topics to service providers who interact with each language group.

• make indigenous culture available to Australian students of all ages.

• help promote aboriginal products and services.
