Yes. Our flagship work is based in Redfern/Waterloo, home to one of the most significant Aboriginal communities in the country. We are working toward certified Indigenous business status, and our model embeds cultural knowledge, kinship structures, and community autonomy at every step.

Nurture Stores: fresh produce, repurposed food products, flowers, subscription boxes, community care navigation, and local employment.
Nurture Stays: hosted sustainable accommodation linked to each store, generating income for community projects and training opportunities for residents.
Together, they form micro-economies that keep wealth circulating locally.

Yes — but on our terms.
We collaborate where there is genuine partnership, accountability, and willingness to reform. We do not engage with arrangements that perpetuate extraction, tokenism, or culturally inappropriate care.

Every action helps rebuild the Village — for all of us.

We don’t deliver “services” to people — we build ecosystems with people.
Our Nurture Stores, Nurture Stays, urban-farming hubs, community employment pathways, and lived-experience care models are designed to create purpose, income, connection, and self-determination.

Australia’s current system is built on commodifying disadvantage — not solving it. Billions flow to organisations that manage problems rather than reduce them. Our work exposes these systemic gaps and builds community-controlled alternatives that actually heal, empower, and create economic mobility.
