These dedicated Aboriginal cricket programs will ensure that the love of cricket is channeled into activities that allow Aboriginal people to succeed in the game and ensure support is provided for ongoing engagement that reflects how Aboriginal people want to participate in the game either in structured or unstructured competitions.

Over time, these programs will also ensure that talented Aboriginal players will remain in the game longer and become role models to inspire the next generation of Aboriginal players.

We will be working with other NGOs to ensure that we are incorporating nutritional, mental health and leadership capabilities into all our Aboriginal programs to ensure we are developing participants as good people as well as good cricketers.

The dedicated programs are detailed below:
