Who we are
We are an Aboriginal not-for-profit Incorporated Association. The Koorie Heritage Trust takes Koorie peoples, cultures and communities from the literal and figurative fringes of Melbourne to a place that is a central meeting and gathering place for all Victorians. Our presence at Federation Square is a bold statement and significant recognition of our shared history and the importance of Koorie peoples and communities as part of a broader 21st century community.
Our strategic goals 2017 – 2020
Strengthen our relationships with Victorian Aboriginal communities
Promote and celebrate our continuing living Victorian Aboriginal culture

We will monitor and measure our success against our strategic goals. By 2020, we will:
