Grounded in Country. Guided by Community.
We acknowledge the custodians of the Widjabul/Wiabal Clan of the Bundjalung Nation, and our continuing deep connections to the many lands, waterways, seas and communities of this continent. We pay our respects to our Ancestors, our Elders and our Knowledge Holders, past, present and emerging.

We began with housing. The work grew with us.
Bundjalung Tribal Society was formed in 1975 to meet the housing needs of our own community. Today we manage a housing portfolio, run a working farm at Namabunda, are building a Cultural Centre, and deliver programs that support families when they need it most.
