The living voices of our past giving strength to our future.

First Languages Australia is the national peak body working to ensure the strength of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. We support a network of language centres, community programs and industry partners covering the whole of Australia, and all of our efforts are designed to have both immediate and longstanding impact on the future of our languages.

First Languages Australia works with members of the language network to create resources and undertake projects that support local community language aspirations. We build links between communities and the government, and key non-government partners whose work affects or can impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. By supporting communication within the language network, First Languages Australia works to help colleagues share their experience, resources and expertise and to encourage sustainable partnerships that support to broad spectrum of language endeavours.
