Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health Limited

FISH was established in 2010 to address the severe housing crisis in First Nations communities throughout Australia. Our work has since expanded to include Education, Health, Justice, Social Enterprise and Cultural initiatives.
Acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a living spiritual, cultural, familial and social connection with country, FISH seeks to bring healing to the spirit, heart, mind, body and land to help create healthy people and communities.
FISH believes that change does not come through ‘hand outs’, but by giving people a ‘hand up’ where Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander people and non-indigenous work hand in hand through innovation and enterprise to bring sustainable change.
The focus of the organisation is “by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people”.
