Our Mission

We provide culturally respectful support, advocacy, awareness, referrals, practical assistance and community connection during some of the most difficult and uncertain moments a family can experience.
What We Do
Supporting families and communities through culturally respectful services.
Family Support
Compassionate support, information and referral pathways for families affected by missing persons.
Advocacy & Awareness
Raising public awareness and helping ensure Indigenous missing persons matters receive visibility, dignity and respect.
Community Connection
Working with families, volunteers, community organisations, agencies and supporters to strengthen the support available to affected families.
Search Support
Where appropriate and lawful, helping coordinate culturally respectful volunteer and specialist search support in consultation with families and relevant authorities.
Who We Support
We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families, young people, Elders, rural and remote communities, and families experiencing trauma, grief or uncertainty because a loved one is missing.
Our support is guided by cultural respect, compassion and a commitment to walking alongside families for as long as they need us.
