Maranguka Community-led in Bourke. Sharing community wins, local events and the future we’re building together.

Maranguka was established by a grassroots coalition of concerned local Aboriginal residents who wanted to see positive change in their community. The Bourke community created a new way of doing community business called the Maranguka Initiative, meaning ‘caring for others’ in Ngemba language. Maranguka empowers community to coordinate the right mix and timing of services through an Aboriginal community owned and led, multi-disciplinary team working in partnership with relevant government and non-government agencies. Maranguka is working to improve outcomes and creating better coordinated support for vulnerable families and children through the true empowerment of the local Aboriginal community.

Welcome to Maranguka's page.

Maranguka is community-led and community-controlled, right here in Bourke.

Our vision is: "For all our people to shape and determine the future of Bourke."

This page is where we share what's happening: our wins, what's on, our work and the people building a Bourke that everyone wants to be a part of.

We celebrate our kids, our families and community, and help people know what's going on.

Keeping this page safe

We want this page to be a safe space for everyone.

Your questions and feedback are always welcome, even when you disagree with us.

We won't remove a comment just because it raises a concern, gives feedback or asks a hard question. If something needs more discussion, we may ask the person to contact us by email or speak with us directly. This gives us a fair way to hear the concern, follow it up properly and make sure nothing is missed.

We will remove:

Comments that attack or shame a person, family or group
Comments that name or identify a person, family or child in a harmful way
Lateral violence or expressions of racism, threats, abuse or attacks on another person
Anything unlawful or that could put someone at risk
If a person continues to post harmful comments, we may block them from this page to keep this space safe.

If something is worrying you, send us a message or email [email protected]. We'd rather talk it through with you directly.

We monitor this page during business hours.

If someone is in danger, call 000.

Thanks for helping us keep this page a safe and respectful space for everyone.
