Cathy Freeman Foundation

www.cathyfreemanfoundation.org.au

The Cathy Freeman Foundation provides educational support to over 500 school-aged

children living on Palm Island - one of the largest remote Indigenous communities in Australia and the fourth most disadvantaged community in Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

 

Underpinning the work of the Foundation is the desire to bridge the education gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, ensuring they all share a strong sense of self-belief and access to opportunities in life.

 

Working in partnership with the Palm Island community council, elders, schools, parents and carers, the Foundation takes a holistic approach to improving the educational outcomes of children on Palm Island.
