About
FIRDA is a First Nations Community based not for profit organisation that is self determining and
follows our ways in the Law. We are a national organisation working specifically in NSW regional areas, the ACT and QLD. We do work in other areas via invitation by community and service agencies.
We follow the teachings of Our Culture and our Elders shared with their wisdom. We come from many clans and nations to fight for the recovery of our peoples from the impacts of generational colonisation to ensure this cycle is broken in our generation.
