The Midwest Aboriginal Ranger Program - DBCA

The Midwest Aboriginal Ranger Program is providing opportunities for Aboriginal people across the Mid West region to engage in Natural Resource Management (NRM) activities while delivering on-ground conservation with a strong cultural emphasis on Caring for Country.

It is a partnership between the Northern Agricultural Catchments Council, Western Mulga, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), Central Regional TAFE and Geraldton Streetwork Aboriginal Corporation (GSAC).

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has been instrumental in establishing this Program through an Indigenous Advancement Strategy community-led grant worth $1.5 million. The Program is also supported by a dedicated Reference Group, which brings together Traditional Custodians from across the region to provide advice and guidance.
