Our Mission

In parallel to Yanun’s commitment to excellence in project planning and delivery, Yanun has a fierce desire to take tangible action to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. Just as the saying goes ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’, Yanun believes that economic independence is a core requirement of a brighter future for Australia’s first people.

Yanun is dedicated to mentoring, training and providing opportunities for younger Aboriginal people to develop their own lifelong skill sets and in doing so, build Aboriginal empowerment, one success story at a time.
