Welcome to Burrunju Aboriginal Corporation
Indigenous Community Links (formerly Community Support Service) has operated since July 2009. It is designed to support Indigenous community members and their families, by providing links and referrals to a range of mainstream and Indigenous services, such as welfare and social support, employment, family violence, health (including drug and alcohol services), legal, child care and housing. Services also encourage the development and fostering of relationships with other service providers by promoting access and pathways to their services, including through the provision of Internet access. Indigenous Community Links operates through a network of 65 not-for-profit organisations, in 88 locations/clusters, representing more than 140 Indigenous communities across Australia. Burrunju Indigenous Community Links is funded by FaHCSIA http://www.fahcsia.gov.au/our-responsibilities/indigenous-australians

Burrunju Aboriginal Corporation supports Indigemail Australia Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Network.
Indigemail is a not for profit Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Email and electronic
information Network of Australia that provides a holistic approach to helping our
people enhance their opportunities and shares and cares about our people through
the distribution of info throughout our Nation Wide Network.
Description
INDIGEMAIL is an Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander run Mailing Network system
created to connect the Indigenous communities of Australia. Our email network
system aims to promote and distribute information from state to state to enable the
community optimum access to information for:
- Local, Regional, State and National Aboriginal Events in all sectors
- Employment Opportunities
- Educational opportunities
- Sporting Opportunities
- Sorry Business/ Funeral Community Notifications
Another goal of Indigemail is to create a fund that would enable us to contribute to
community interests such as contributions to fees for attendance of culturally
appropriate events. This would include sporting events at a national level, small
assistance for families affected by loss. In some cases we have had families who
have lost everything in house fires and we would like to be able to provide even the
smallest contribution to assist in these times of suffering.
Emails from all states are significantly important for our mob to share what is
happening in each state.
