Round 9 of the Aboriginal Ranger Program is now open, with $62.5 million in funding available to support new and established Aboriginal ranger groups across regional Western Australia.
The Cook Government’s Aboriginal Ranger Program delivers on key priorities by protecting and restoring WA’s unique natural environments, building safer and more inclusive communities, and creating meaningful, on-Country jobs for Aboriginal people across regional and remote WA.
This latest round brings the State Government’s total investment in the Aboriginal Ranger Program to $172.5 million since 2017, supporting more than 1,400 paid ranger jobs caring for land and sea Country.
Round 9 funding is available through three streams:
- Sustain Fund – to support and sustain existing and established Aboriginal ranger groups;
- Activate Fund – for new ranger groups that have already carried out detailed planning, including through previous investment; and
- Prepare Fund – supporting new groups to undergo ranger-specific planning activities and prepare for new ranger programs.
The funding streams were developed following a review of previous rounds and extensive engagement with Traditional Owners and stakeholders to deliver greater impacts and meet aspirations for Country.
Eligible Aboriginal organisations have until Monday, 9 March to apply. For more information, visit dbca.wa.gov.au/ARP
