BMACRC - About us
Our Story
In 1994, a small group of local Aboriginal people came together with a shared vision: to create a place where culture could be celebrated, voices could be heard, and community could thrive. From this vision, the Blue Mountains Aboriginal Culture and Resource Centre (BMACRC) was established.
For more than 30 years, BMACRC has been a place of connection, support and cultural strength for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the Blue Mountains. What began as a community-led initiative has grown into a trusted organisation delivering culturally safe programs, services and opportunities that support individuals, families, young people and Elders.
Today, we continue to walk alongside our community, building strong relationships, celebrating culture, and creating positive pathways for future generations.
