About

The Northern Australian Aboriginal Charitable Trust operates the Remote Laundries project, a charity working with Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. The trust focuses on improving health, quality of life, and social-economic outcomes by providing free laundry facilities in remote communities. The initiative is part of the Aboriginal Investment Group and operates laundries in locations including Barunga, Casuarina, Angurugu, and Bickerton Island.

Giving Philosophy

The trust supports community-led initiatives that address fundamental needs in remote Aboriginal communities, focusing on projects that demonstrate measurable health and social outcomes. It values partnerships with Indigenous-owned organizations and projects that create local employment opportunities.

Tips for Applicants

Focus proposals on concrete health outcomes and community benefit, demonstrate Indigenous community ownership or partnership, and highlight local employment creation. Reference their existing laundry projects and documented health impacts such as the 60% scabies reduction in Barunga.
