Hope Vale is one of 16 Councils Supporting Indigenous Knowledge Centres


Meet the groups the DOT.COM.MOB is working together with to open and operate Indigenous Knowledge Centre's in Queensland's remote Indigenous communities so that members of these communities can have access to the same services as every other Australian.

The Administrators from 16 IKCs across Cape York, Torres Strait and Cherbourg attended a conference in Cairns in Sept to share ideas and learn about new activities they can run in their centres.

The Mayor of Hope Vale, Greg Mclean called for more funding so councils can continue to offer 'long-life' learning opportunites in Indigenous communities.

Watch the video to see and hear the difference these centres are making.
