Our Ways Strong Together is proud to welcome ten more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations as members of the national peak body.
The following organisations have been accepted as members:
- Mens Outreach Service Aboriginal Corporation, Western Australia
- Aboriginal Resource Development Services (ARDS), Northern Territory
- Central Queensland Indigenous Development, Queensland
- Aboriginal and Islander Development and Recreational Womens Association (AIDRWA), Queensland
- Helem Yumba, Queensland
- MARABISDA, Queensland
- Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation, Western Australia

New members bring further men's behaviour-change, crisis accommodation, healing, family support, language and cultural knowledge, and maternal health expertise to the network, reflecting the breadth of the community-controlled sector working to prevent family, domestic and sexual violence.
Launched in March 2026, Our Ways Strong Together is the national community-controlled peak body representing members delivering services across the family, domestic and sexual violence sector.
Membership is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations (ACCOs) that provide family, domestic and sexual violence services or support, either as their primary purpose or as part of broader service delivery.
Now with a collective 55 member services nationally, CEO Olga Havnen AM said the new members strengthen a growing national network.
"Every one of these organisations already carries deep trust in their own community. Bringing that experience into a national network means governments and funders hear directly from the people doing this work every day."
Meet the organisations behind the network on the Our Ways Strong Together website.
