INDUSTRY DEMAND

Language is an essential part of life, culture and identity and with 90% of Aboriginal languages considered endangered, the time to protect languages is now.

In 2017, the NSW Government created the first legislation in Australia to acknowledge the importance of revitalising First Languages. This is an opportunity for Aboriginal people to reclaim history and belonging; and learn, teach and use their skills to contribute to the health and longevity of these complex and beautiful languages.
