Northern Australian Aboriginal Men’s Alliance (NAAMA)
Northern Australian Aboriginal Men’s Alliance (NAAMA)
Creating a songline of connection across Northern Australia, the Northern Australian Aboriginal Men’s Alliance (NAAMA) weaves men’s groups together from East to West, building a powerful, culturally grounded network of leadership, healing and collective action.
We connect Aboriginal men and organisations across WA, NT and QLD to strengthen healing, prevent domestic and family violence, improve service coordination and drive systemic change that addresses the root causes of intergenerational harm.
The Alliance centres Aboriginal men’s voices, elevates cultural authority, and strengthens collaboration across justice, health, community safety and healing sectors. Through regional gatherings, shared learning and collective advocacy, we are building a sustainable platform that supports men to move from struggle to stability, from healing to leadership, and from leadership to giving back.
Delivered through partnership by Kununurra Waringarri Aboriginal Corporation (KWAC), Gawooleng Yawoodeng Aboriginal Corporation (GY) and Darwin Aboriginal and Islander Women’s Shelter (DAIWS) and supported by the Paul Ramsey Foundation, the Alliance is grounded in Aboriginal-led governance and built on relationships, trust and cultural strength.
Together, we are shaping a stronger future for men, families and communities across the North.
