The NESST Aboriginal Services Portal

Building Capacity for Aboriginal People in New England

NESST has created this portal to provide a single central location for Aboriginal people to be able to:

  • locate useful facilities in their area (such as free Wi-Fi, community libraries, public toilets etc)
  • keep track of events (such as community meetings, NAIDOC week, Deadly Award Ceremony etc) via a dedicated calendar
  • locate services in their area (such as Medical, Legal, Community Services etc) and find relevant contact details
  • provide community resources such as videos, images, pdf documents etc that you can use with your team

NESST has tried to ensure that the content of the Aboriginal Services Portal is culturally appropriate, and accurate at time of development. If you have concerns about any of the content found on this portal, wish to add content, have content removed from this site or make changes to content please contact NESST on info@nesst.org.au
