Through various Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs) with the Australian Defence Force, Sunwater, Gladstone Area Water Board, and Central Queensland Power (Moah Creek Wind Farm), Darumbal People Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (DPAC) is able to support Darumbal families through dedicated social programs. Compensation funds received from these agreements are held in trust by the Darumbal Charitable Trust. The Trustee upholds a commitment to ethical management of these funds and has developed a Socio Support Policy, which provides guidelines for financial and socio-economic support to the Darumbal community.
The Socio Support Policy is designed to alleviate poverty and financial hardship among disadvantaged Darumbal people by offering grants, supporting child education, training, and employment, fostering business and job opportunities, and providing advocacy and other necessary support as determined by the Trustee. This program focuses solely on community welfare and does not cover personal expenses such as rent, utilities, or car payments.
All support applications are subject to available funds and require Board approval. To request a copy of the Darumbal Charitable Trust Socio Support Policy, please contact admin@darumbal.com.au.
