What We Do

Counteracting Racism

Racism is a constant in the lives of Indigenous Australians and it has effects across a number of social indicators.

Education

Access to a good education is one of the greatest means of creating parity and positive outcomes for all Australians

Health

The physical and mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is generally well behind that of Australia’s non-Indigenous population.

Employment

Employment allows people to live a fuller life and contributes to raising the socioeconomic standards of a person and a community.

Cultural Understanding

There is a need to tailor specific programs to the needs of Indigenous communities where culture is used as a strength.

About Us

Operating for over 20years, NASCA is an Aboriginal community organisation dedicated to addressing social inequality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. We work with youth, recognising they hold inherent strengths and capabilities; we assist by unlocking their potential and opening doors. Find out more about our organisation, our people, and programs.

Our Programs and Impact

Structured sports encourages behavioural change. Skills gained through sport are transferable to many other areas of life.

COVID-19 Statement

NASCA is monitoring official advice and has developed strategies to best support the delivery of our programs. Whilst the reminder of our remote programs in the NT and WA have been cancelled due to border closures and remaining CV-19 restrictions, our offices are open and we have resumed working with our communities in NSW. There are no confirmed cases in our program delivery areas and the health and well-being of the communities we work with and our NASCA staff and volunteers remains our first priority. We thank you for your continued support throughout this time.
