Thriving Communities Australia

Thriving Communities Australia (TCA) is a charitable not for profit organisation that enables collaboration across sectors. Our goal is to see everybody have fair access to the modern essential services they need to thrive in contemporary Australia.
/

TCA was founded in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. As an organisation, and as humans, we pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and live, and to the elders of these lands; past and present. We acknowledge the systemic barriers faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through colonisation. We also recognise and celebrate the rich values of knowledge sharing, storytelling, and connection to community and Country that has been a part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures for thousands upon thousands of years.
