Economic Empowerment

Undertaking economic development opportunities that build financial independence and lasting prosperity for Aboriginal people across the Tiwi Aboriginal Land Trust Region.

Opportunity close to home

Economic Empowerment is about creating real opportunities in community. Munupi Aboriginal Corporation works to open up economic development for Aboriginal people in the Tiwi Aboriginal Land Trust Region, so people can build skills, earn a living and share in lasting prosperity.

That work starts with local jobs: paid roles doing work the community needs done, with training built in. Munupi is also exploring energy matters for and on behalf of the community, and new initiatives will be added here as they take shape.
