Warrigunya Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation

Warrigunya’s vision is to provide a collaborative holistic model of post release support, from a base of safe and stable housing, for Aboriginal men to enable them to readjust to life and to give them the best chance of becoming financially independent, culturally strong and not re-enter prison.

We are a registered charity, hold DGR1 status and are a not for profit Aboriginal Controlled Community Organisation registered with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations.

We secured a 20 acre block of land at Darriman on a 50 year peppercorn lease and became incorporated in 2021. In partnership with ACSO a $3M grant was applied for through Homes Victoria and the first stage of our build began construction in November 2022 and the first 4 of a total of 8 units will be completed in April 2024.

We also have sourced additional funding and donations to construct a large workshop with three phase power, which is fully equipped with woodworking and art materials.
