Organisation Summary

Madalah is Western Australia’s largest First Nations‑led scholarship provider, supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from regional and remote communities to overcome educational disadvantage through access to high‑quality secondary and tertiary education. We are driven by the belief that education is the foundation for generational change and self‑determination.

Our scholarships go beyond school fees, delivering targeted Student Outcome Support such as tutoring, camps, and enrichment activities alongside a culturally grounded Wrap Around Support model that nurtures wellbeing, identity, and academic success. Guided by a student‑led approach, our programs are shaped by community needs and aligned with the Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing framework—demonstrating through strong retention and graduation outcomes what is possible when education is paired with culturally safe, holistic support that empowers the next generation of First Nations leaders.
