Our programs are designed by and with First Nations people, ensuring they reflect real community priorities and create lasting impact. When Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are empowered to lead decision-making, outcomes are stronger, trust is deeper, and programs are more effective and sustainable.​
​
We believe that strong connection to culture, language, and Country builds identity, pride, and resilience. These connections form the foundation for confident individuals, strong families, and thriving communities.

​The Mibilla Foundation partners with Mibilla Pty Ltd, a First Nations-owned social enterprise that reinvests its profits into the Foundation. Together, we’re building a model of community-led change - where economic empowerment supports long-term wellbeing, and every initiative contributes to self-determination.​​​​​
Our Priorities
Economic Empowerment
Employment and enterprise development are vital to building dignity, financial independence, and long-term community wellbeing.
Meaningful work provides income, purpose, and transferable skills, while Aboriginal-led businesses foster leadership, create role models, and deliver culturally appropriate services.
Financially stable individuals support others, reinvesting in their local community, creating a ripple effect that reduces reliance on welfare, strengthens local economies, and empowers communities to drive their own solutions.

Education
Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking cycles of poverty and disadvantage.
It opens pathways to employment, higher incomes, and leadership roles, while also building confidence, critical thinking, and informed decision-making.
By improving health literacy, encouraging civic participation, and supporting intergenerational change, education not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens families and communities across generations.

Housing
Safe and stable housing is the cornerstone of wellbeing, providing the essential foundation for individuals and families to thrive.
Without secure accommodation, it is difficult to maintain employment, support children’s education, manage health, or plan for the future.
Stable housing ensures consistency in schooling and work, while safe, good-quality homes protect against chronic health issues, family conflict, and unsafe living conditions, enabling people to focus on long-term growth rather than day-to-day survival.

Health & Wellbeing
Strong health and wellbeing are essential foundations for individuals, families, and communities to thrive.
We recognise that improving health outcomes isn’t just about services - it’s about equity, dignity, and ensuring our people have the resources and support to live full, self-determined lives.
We prioritise initiatives that strengthen wellbeing by addressing the root causes - such as secure housing, education, economic empowerment, and connection to culture.
By working alongside community, we aim to reduce barriers, improve access, and support long-term healing and resilience.​
