Aboriginal Communities

The Language Centre specifically provides Aboriginal communities with:

• Technical linguistic and teaching advice
• Research assistance
• Assistance to record language speakers
• Relevant language revival related training tailored to community needs
• Mentoring of networking and collaboration between language initiatives across the State
• Advice regarding sources of funding available to language projects; and
• Strong advocacy for the revival of Aboriginal languages.

The Language Centre is also a central point of contact for members of the public seeking information about Aboriginal languages in New South Wales.

The Language Centre administers the DAA’s Community Language Assistance Program, which provides grants of $5000 to $50,000 to projects to revive NSW Aboriginal Languages.
