Our Vision

Homelands hold the Yolngu story. They provide strong connections to the land and sea culture. This allows Yolngu to be Yolngu and to be self-reliant. Homelands allow Yolngu to provide a safe, health place for kids to grow and learn, and to create strong people.

At Marthakal Homelands and Resource Centre Aboriginal Corporation we are strong, committed team, working together, walking together, always respectful of one another, and with the shared goal of creating a better life and environment for the people of the Homelands.

Our organisation delivers services that benefit the people of the Homelands. Our services are delivered in consultation with them, and the biggest part of our work is delivered on Homelands.
