Company Profile

Company Description:

The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) exists to build capability and create opportunity with and for generations of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders; by delivering life-changing programs and reframing possibility for all Australians.
 
With our partners, we lead, collaborate on or facilitate programs in the pathways of arts and culture, health and wellness, learning and innovation, and sports and recreation.
 
Beyond program design, development and delivery; the NCIE is also changing the national conversation about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We focus on shifting discussion away from the negative deficit language of disadvantage to the positive assets based language of excellence.
 
The NCIE manages a number of social enterprise units to support the delivery of programs and to generate revenue for reinvestment in social impact. These enterprises include EORA Fitness, EORA Aquatics, EORA Campus, EORA Conference and Koori Job Ready (Les Tobler Centre and Yaama Dhiyaan).
 
The NCIE’s landmark facilities are located in the heart of Redfern. The NCIE has been operational for three years and has experienced rapid growth and success. As an innovative Indigenous social enterprise, we are contributing towards building an excellent Australia.  
 
The NCIE’s approach draws on our timeless principles of connectedness, transformation, expression and custodianship. When we are delivering programs, promoting thought leadership, managing our enterprises or encouraging social investment, we are always conscious of these principles and our values of excellence, integrity, inclusiveness and growth.
