Our Mission, Vision, and Values

The mission of the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) is to bring the three contracting parties (comprising the Ngarluma-Yindjibarndi, Yaburara Mardudhunera, and the Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo) to the Burrup and Maitland Industrial Estates Agreement (BMIEA) together to speak with one voice and to work together in solidarity to achieve positive economic outcomes for the contemporary Murujuga community and its future generations. The three contracting parties to the BMIEA represent members of five traditional Aboriginal language groups.

Our Values

Our values should not be viewed in isolation. Instead, they go ‘hand in hand’ with the philosophy behind speaking with one voice for country. At MAC, we believe in the following values:

Culture
Our culture, our cultural strength and our cultural values are the foundation of all we do and all we seek to achieve. Our decisions and our actions will always be guided by our culture.

Unity
Our traditional Ngarda Ngarli, our organisation and our Board work in unity to serve the interests of our country, our culture and our people.

Respect
We respect our Elders, each other, our organisation, our members and our stakeholders. We act in a manner that demonstrates this and we expect this of others in their dealings with us.

Initiative
We follow through with an action or task with an aim to exceeding expectations. We innovate and we take the next step without needing to be prompted.

Accountability & Transparency
We take responsibility for our actions, we act with integrity, we do what we say we will do, we are open and honest and we deliver the results we promise.
