Far West Coast Aboriginal Community Charitable Trust
The Far West Coast Aboriginal Community Charitable Trust (ABN: 64528269778) is an Australian nonprofit organization established to support members of the Far West Coast Aboriginal community. Its primary objective is to provide resources enabling members to maintain a standard of living equitable with the broader Australian population[1][2].

Activities and Governance
The trust delivers assistance through structured programs, including education, employment, and business development initiatives. Funding originates from mining agreements, notably with Iluka Resources, with managed investments generating annual disbursements[1]. A liaison committee, comprising directors of the affiliated Far West Coast Investments (FWCI), oversees collaborative efforts with Iluka to advance socioeconomic outcomes for community members[1].

FWCI evaluates business opportunities to mitigate financial risk, opting to establish separate entities for high-risk ventures to protect the trust's resources. This strategy ensures the sustainability of core charitable operations while fostering economic participation[1].

Assistance Programs
Community members can apply for aid under multiple categories aligned with the trust’s charitable objectives. Applications are processed locally through a dedicated trust coordinator, streamlining access to essential services and financial support[1][3].

Funding Structure
Revenue derives from mining royalties, investment returns, and native title settlement funds. These sources enable the trust to operate independently while addressing systemic inequities faced by Aboriginal communities in the region[1][5].

Operational Model
The trust emphasizes localized decision-making, with services administered directly from Ceduna, South Australia. This approach prioritizes accessibility for members, whether through in-person consultations or remote communication channels[1][3].
