Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi Aboriginal Corporation is a community- based organisation, working with Aboriginal families in remote Central Australia. Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi is Luritja language, meaning for "doing good work with families" and the name encapsulates the Waltja story.

Waltja’s agenda is driven by a Management Committee of traditional Aboriginal women, with the aim of improving outcomes for families. Collectively women want to share their histories, stories and their visions across the Central Desert communities to create one voice for the good of all.

The foundation for Waltja’s corporate philosophy is the leadership of strong Aboriginal women, a focus on families, and support for community self-management and self-determination and improved services on communities.

Waltja’s Logo

Our logo was designed by Punata Stockman from Mt.Liebig Community.

The three circles represent communities, Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi and service providers respectively. The feet depict Waltja workers travelling between communities and service providers, sharing information and addressing gaps in service delivery through referral, training and advocacy.
