What is the Noongar Boodja Trust?

The Noongar Boodja Trust is part of the governance structure for the South West Native Title Settlement between the Noongar people and the State of Western Australia. It holds, maintains and grows the compensation paid by the State to the Noongar people.

This Settlement formally recognises that, since time immemorial, the Noongar people have maintained a living cultural, spiritual, familial and social relationship with Noongar boodja.

The Trust’s beneficiaries are the seven Noongar corporations who represent the Noongar community.

The Noongar Boodja Trust will create an enduring legacy of self-determination for the Noongar people, and help to realise their aspirations that are intrinsically linked to boodja (country), kaarditjin (culture) and moort (community).
