Bábbarra Women’s Centre has a proud history of positive social impact.

From the early days, we have supported the lives of Aboriginal women in the community of Maningrida and on surrounding homelands.

Bábbarra Women’s Centre enables local women to develop and run women-centred enterprises that support healthy and sustainable livelihoods.

Bábbarra Designs is our main enterprise. We have a textile workshop specialising in the production of hand-printed fabric design using linocut block prints and screen prints. We are one of only a few Indigenous textile-producing art centres in Australia that design, print and sew product onsite, in community.

We are governed by women for women, led by the strong voices of our Bábbarra Women’s Board. In this space, we women are in charge. We operate an op shop and we support women artists on remote homeland outstations in the region.

We are part of Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation, which was set up by Maningrida community leaders in 1974 to support people to live on their homelands.

Education, employment and training have always been fundamental to Bamara’s commitment to helping local communities prosper.

Bees Creek Outside School Hours and Vacation Care offer a social approach and safe environment that shapes children’s social development and growth. We recognise the importance of providing fun, stimulating, and nurturing care for each child. Children develop interaction skills and are guided to identify their feelings and regulate their behaviour. Children are also guided to take responsibility for their own well-being and the feelings and consequences caused by their actions that affect themselves and others. Our program provides a balance of indoor and outdoor activities, as well as quiet times and active times so that children can learn, explore and grow in a safe and supportive environment. We believe that all children have the right to be treated with respect, kindness and fairness, so we provide an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and included.
