"The work of women on country makes us all stronger, and through growing Indigenous ranger jobs and Indigenous Protected Areas and securing them for the long term, we are making an investment in nature, culture and community that we can all be proud of."

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
