Welcome to TRIMOB Australia. We are a First Nations organisation that is empowering First Nations Australians through the sport of triathlon. In doing so we will strengthen our mobs Mind, Body & Spirit.


At TRIMOB our Dreaming (Goals) are;

1. Increase the participation and retention of First Nations people participating in triathlon and endurance sports

2. Empower First Nations people to control our overall health including physical, social and emotional well-being

3. Increase and support more Australians connecting, celebrating, appreciating, learning from and about Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures


Our why is to create change by empowering people through strength based approaches.

Triathlon is a sport that has the power to change lives. Yet in Australia it is one of the few sports that First Nations people have participated in. This is due to a range of factors such as; cultural inclusivity/safety, costs associated with the sport and limited access to triathlons in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities.

Tens of thousands of Australians have competed in IRONMAN triathlons across the globe yet only 11 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have completed an IRONMAN triathlon.

We are going to change this!!!

In doing so through we will create real opportunities for non-Indigenous Australians to engage with TRIMOB and learn more about First Nations people and their cultures.


In the next 12 months we plan on nearly doubling the number of First Nations athletes to complete an IRONMAN Triathlon and have over 250 First Nations people participate in their first Triathlon whilst educating more non-Indigenous Australians about First Nations peoples and cultures!


Already we have created history with the largest number of First Nations athletes ever at an IRONMAN OCEANIA event at Cairns in June 2023 and at the same event having the first ever Torres Strait Islander person qualify for the Hawaiian IRONMAN.


We would love your support to help bring our Dreaming into reality!!
