The Cathy Freeman Foundation programs broaden horizons and supports Indigenous students to experience their full potential in school.

​

The Foundation acknowledges the strength and wisdom that lies within remote Indigenous communities. Our work demands strong and trusting partnerships with community, elders and school leaders. We partner with communities for the long haul, as we journey through the complexities of the work required to create social change.

 

The vision of the Cathy Freeman Foundation is simple but ambitious:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children have the best education outcomes and optimal opportunities in life.
