Working with the community

Jawun’s priorities in the past four years have been helping with employment, education and building the capabilities of local Indigenous organisations. The Indigenous leadership are now looking at re-setting their agenda to accelerate change for the community. This should also improve the community's capacity to better leverage the support from corporate Australia through the Jawun model.
