Founded in 1983, Southern Aboriginal Corporation (SAC) is a not-for-profit, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation that exists to support the unique and evolving needs of Aboriginal people across the Great Southern, Southwest and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia.
SAC's offices are located in Albany, Katanning, Bunbury and Narrogin, from which services are delivered to 17 regional and remote locations.
Our comprehensive suite of integrated services include affordable housing, tenancy support, health promotion, social and emotional wellbeing, skills and employment, family violence prevention legal service, family dispute resolution, Aboriginal Rangers and support to access a driver's licence.
As a not-for-profit, Incorporated Aboriginal Association under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006, all profits made by SAC are retained within the corporation, for the benefit of SAC clients and members. SAC is primarily funded through government and non-government grants, philanthropic partnerships, and through income from our Community Housing program.
Our programs and services enable Aboriginal people to be at the forefront of positive change for themselves and their families, while having a positive impact on progress under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.
