Educating & Empowering Indigenous children
It is our belief that education is the key to generational change and a brighter future for Indigenous children.
About
Yalari
Yalari is a not-for-profit organisation offering secondary education scholarships at leading Australian boarding schools for Indigenous children from regional, rural and remote communities.
We believe education is the key to generational change and a brighter future for Indigenous Australians and for our nation as a whole. We are deeply committed to the ongoing success of our national program of scholarships, student support and post-school opportunities.
Yalari respects our Elders, past and present, and acknowledges that our office is on Kombumerri country within the lands of the Yugambeh language group.

“Yalari means that I’ve been given an opportunity to make a change. If I wasn’t given this opportunity I’d be at my local high school, probably expelled. Yalari has given me a chance to do something with my life.” - Year 9 Yalari Scholar and Churchie Student, Moigida Loban.

What a great snap of Kayla Baker-Peris (Yalari alumna and 2018 Kambala graduate) who is working for Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association. Kayla was broadcasting from a National NAIDOC Week event in Berrimah, NT.
It was great to welcome Yalari alumna, Jondy Martin and her team from Bond University to the office today. As part of their studies in public relations, the crew interviewed Waverley and Llew and will be compiling a social media video for us! Thanks guys!
A few of our esteemed colleagues from Yalari HQ have decided to tackle The Kokoda Challenge this weekend, 96km in 39 hours, through the Gold Coast Hinterland.
They need to raise $1,600 in order to participate and we are asking you to lend them a hand. Over the years, the Kokoda Youth Foundation has supported Yalari students to walk the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea.
Members of 'Team Yalari' include Waverley Stanley AM (Founding Director), Bruce Davidson (Acting Chairman) and Nathan Carger (Business Manager). A formidable team indeed but 96km in one hit? OUCH! 🤪 But we know they can do it!!
If you would like to support them, please donate here www.kokodachallenge.com/fundraisers/Yalari
More details about the event can be found here www.kokodachallenge.com/events/gold-coast
... and if you would like to track their progress during the event, there is a live timing page www.racetecresults.com/live.aspx?CId=16253&RId=6075
