Moogji Careers
Come work with us
Our Vision is that the Aboriginal Community in Far East Gippsland is physically spiritually, emotionally,

About us
Moogji Aboriginal Council (Moogji) came into being in 1989 when the then Aboriginal Women
and Children’s Group and Moogji Aboriginal Cooperative combined.
Today at Moogji we support community members through their life journeys to achieve the best health and wellbeing outcomes possible, strengthen cultural and community connections and reach employment and economic development goals. We do this through the provision of quality services and programs in a culturally safe environment, facilitating employment and training opportunities, supporting strong community leadership and advocating for community needs and aspirations
Why work with us?
