The Moriarty Foundation is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led not for profit organisation that delivers locally-led programs to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities to help their children to thrive in order to radically shift intergenerational disadvantage. The Moriarty Foundation’s programs include Indi Kindi, John Moriarty Football (JMF), facilitation of community workshops and camps. Indi Kindi is a ground-breaking early years program for children under five years of age in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, that integrates health, wellbeing, education and development to give young children the best start in life. JMF is a transformational skills mastery program for 6-16-year old children that uses football (soccer) for positive change, improving school attendance and achieving resilient, healthier outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. 

Stars Foundation provides a holistic program that supports First Nations girls and young women to attend and remain engaged at school, complete Year 12 and move into full-time work or further study. The program is based on strong, trusting relationships. The Stars Room provides a culturally safe, warm environment – a place where the girls and young women feel nurtured and inspired. Our full-time Mentors provide a diverse range of activities to support our Stars to develop the self-esteem, confidence and life skills they need to successfully participate in school and transition into a positive and independent future.
