NSW Aboriginal Language Centres and Hubs Research Report

Aboriginal Language Centres and Hubs have been vital to the revitalisation of Aboriginal Languages in NSW and continue to support many Languages as they grow and strengthen in use.

When the Trust consulted Aboriginal Communities for our Strategic Plan, Aboriginal people voiced a need to establish more sustainably funded Community-led Aboriginal Language Centres or Hubs with a recommendation that “the Trust should look to models of Language centres that work well and seek to replicate these”.

This report provides insights into the different types of Aboriginal Language Centres operating in NSW, their challenges and factors that make them sustainable. The report makes a number of recommendations on how governments, organisations and communities can better support the work of Language Centres.
