About the organisation
Woor-Dungin is a not-for-profit organisation governed by our members, of which the majority are Aboriginal people. Woor-Dungin means ‘share’ in the language of the Gunnai people of south-eastern Victoria. ‘To share’ necessitates an openness to learning from and with one another.
Our work supports Aboriginal organisations across metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria to access the resources they require to support the priority issues they have identified in their local communities, and to achieve self-determination. We do this through developing genuine partnerships with a small number of Aboriginal community controlled organisations in Victoria, and assisting them to engage effectively with philanthropic organisations and pro bono service providers, known as the Aboriginal Partnership Program. In turn we assist philanthropic organisations and pro bono service providers to engage with and support Aboriginal communities and issues.
