The National Indigenous Cultural Centre will primarily focus on the preservation and promotion of Indigenous culture across Australia. It is anticipated that the NICC will be a culturally safe space, designed to allow both Indigenous and non-Indigenous visitors to be immersed in authentic Indigenous experiences. You can read more about the national project here: https://aiatsis.gov.au/ngurra
This initiative will be a joint investment from the ACT and Federal governments. The funding will support a dual-delivery model: the NICC will focus on digital content and online delivery, while Walkabout Australia will manage the physical delivery of cultural experiences across the country.
Walkabout Australia will have a presence at Royal and Regional Shows, as well as at public and private fetes, festivals, and other celebrations. We offer a range of services, including bush tucker, gift shops, and tailored entertainment.

NICC would like to think Australia will demand such a space:- NOW?; knowing it will take years to develop, implement and “continually improve” = we must close the gap and be proud of Australia and our history, present and future.
