About Us
Our Vision:
Djaagan Djagi is a family owned First Nations organisation developed to provide a range of community focussed services in the areas of health, family, employment and education. We focus on supporting both individuals and communities through the delivery of a range of client focussed programs and services. ​
​
Our focus is on developing individuals and ensuring they are given the best opportunity to fulfil their ambitions and achieve their goals. To this end we work with numerous partner agencies, families and community groups in order to support our clients on their individual journey.
Djaagan-Djagi is a term originating from the Butchulla language and can generally be translated into the english meanings of "Place of the rock".
