Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation – Community Development Program (CDP) Services

The Community Development Program is the NIAA’s remote employment scheme. CDP supports job seekers in remote Australian communities to build work skills, address employment barriers and contribute to their communities through a range of high-quality activities, projects, employment and intensive case management.

ALPA operates a community-controlled model for the delivery of CDP, ensuring that we are working closely with community members to co-design the priorities of the program and to ensure it meets the needs of the wider community in each area that we deliver.

ALPA delivers in the following locations and engages nearly 4000 people in the program:

• Galiwin’ku
• Milingimbi
• Ramingining
• Gapuwiyak
• Minjilang
• Gunbalanya
• Jabiru
• Nhulunbuy
• Gunyangara
• Yirrkala

In addition, and in partnership with regional Aboriginal corporations, we deliver the CDP in more than 200 homelands across Arnhem Land.

We focus on building strong relationships with each participant and working with them to identify their goals and aspirations and providing high quality tailored supports to achieve those goals. Taking this focus when delivering CDP means that we are supporting community members to make self-determined choices about what their future looks like and what they want to do with it.
