The Worn Gundidj Co-operative Ltd was established in 1992 to provide employment opportunities for Indigenous persons and their families within community-based enterprises.

Current programs include:

• Job Matching – job preparation, employer liaison and work for the dole
• Product Creation – design, manufacture and merchandising
• Tower Hill – nature-based tourism, cultural interpretation and saleable items
• Environmental – wholesale nursery, land rehabilitation and bush food.

The programs operated by Worn Gundidj, while aiming to be commercially viable, also play an important role in developing strength, family wellbeing and confidence and seek to build strong cultural collateral and social dividends.

While it aims to provide meaningful employment, skill enhancement and business opportunities for Indigenous persons, Worn Gundidj Co-operative operates under a principle of inclusiveness that benefits Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike. The employment of elders also contributes to the encouragement of cultural interaction and respect.
