Our team

Founded by Waverley Stanley AM and Llew Mullins back in 2005, the Yalari community has grown significantly over the years.

Almost 20 years later, Yalari has over 248 students who are currently enrolled in the Rosemary Bishop Indigenous Education Scholarship, where students receive a full boarding school scholarship for their entire secondary education. There are also 536 alumni who have gone onto further study and thriving careers, and the organisation is driven by a team of over 40 committed staff members and guided by 7 passionate board members.

Yalari thrives due to the continuous support of countless volunteers and supporters, who play a crucial role in its mission to provide educational opportunities and empower Indigenous youth across Australia.
