Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation

Community Role

Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation delivers a wide range of culturally grounded services including primary healthcare, family support, early childhood programs, youth services, community wellbeing initiatives, and cultural programs. As an Aboriginal community‑controlled organisation, it plays a vital role in ensuring that services are culturally safe, community‑led, and responsive to the needs of Aboriginal people across Campbelltown, Camden, and surrounding areas. Its work strengthens cultural identity, improves health outcomes, and supports families through holistic, wrap‑around care.

Connection to Big Yellow Umbrella

Big Yellow Umbrella works with families, young people, and community groups across the Macarthur region, including many Aboriginal families who benefit from culturally safe pathways to support. Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation’s programs complement BYU’s community‑based services, creating opportunities for collaboration in areas such as family support, youth engagement, community events, and wellbeing initiatives. Both organisations share a commitment to strengthening connection, reducing barriers to support, and improving outcomes for local families.

Shared Impact

The relationship between Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation and Big Yellow Umbrella contributes to a more inclusive, supported, and culturally connected community. Tharawal provides specialist Aboriginal health and wellbeing services, while BYU offers accessible community programs that engage families across the region. Together, they help ensure Aboriginal families have strong, culturally respectful pathways to support, connection, and community participation.
