Noonkanbah Aboriginal Corporation
Where Tradition Meets Empowerment
We are a safe and thriving collaborative community led by the voices of the Yungngora People.
Noonkanbah Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) reflects a strong sense of cultural, social, and emotional wellbeing and economic empowerment through jobs and enterprises.
Yungngora is a medium-sized Aboriginal community in the Kimberley region in northern Western Australia, situated approximately 280 km east-south-east of Broome and 100 km south-west of Fitzroy Crossing. At the 2016 census, Yungngora had a population of 378.
Noonkanbah operates as a 170,000-hectare cattle station and in April 2007, the Yungngora people had their native title recognised. At the Kulkarriya Community School the students speak English as a second or third language, with Kriol, Nyikina and Walmajarri languages spoken at home. The community also has a clinic, a Health and Aged Care (HAC) kitchen and office.
