The LNAC Journey
Our beginning
Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation was set up in 1997 through the Northern Land Council to provide a corporate identity for Larrakia people to uphold Native Title claims.
In 20 years, we’ve grown to represent the Traditional Owners of the Darwin region and to speak on behalf of Larrakia people while delivering community and outreach services to the broader Darwin community.
Today we operate 40 programs under five managers with the collective vision of Living Longer, Living Stronger.
