Conference Charity Partners

The main conference charity this year is Tjindu Foundation . Tjindu Foundation is a notforprofit organisation based in South Australia that works to create positive, longterm outcomes for Aboriginal young people through three interconnected pillars: education, culture, and wellbeing. Tjindu supports young people through integrated programs that strengthen education and employment pathways, cultural identity and connection, and health and wellbeing.   

Through initiatives such as the Tjindu Aboriginal AFL Academy, Tjindu STRONG, Tjindu Thrive, and cultural education and awareness programs, the foundation works alongside communities, schools, and partners to empower Aboriginal youth for future opportunities. Tjindu also integrates health and wellbeing support into its programs, including access to medical checkups, counselling, and culturally informed wellbeing services.
