Our Story
Nungya Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’s Corporation was founded out of a deep respect for the connection between humans and animals, a bond that is especially strong within our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Recognising the vital role that assistance animals play in the lives of individuals with disabilities, we identified the need for a certification process that is both rigorous and culturally appropriate.
Since our inception in 2023, we have been committed to providing a service that not only meets legal requirements but also honours the traditions and values of our communities. We are proud to contribute to the journey towards greater independence and empowerment for those who need it most.
