Recommended Professional Development & Resources

Ngarrngga creates innovative curriculum resources and professional development to assist educators with showcasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, histories, cultures and contributions. Our approach is collaborative and relational, and as a growing program, Ngarrngga is not able to address all facets of Indigenous education, so we have collated some recommended resources and useful websites. 

Please note that this list has last been updated on the 25th of August, 2025.

Engaging with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

At Ngarrngga, we’re unable to help connect you to your local Indigenous communities. We recommend doing your own research and reaching out to local councils in your area.

You can discover whose Country you are on through the AIATSIS website: https://aiatsis.gov.au/whose-country.
