A north east Tasmanian Aboriginal ranger program is set to expand after receiving multi-million federal government grant.

The four-year grant supporting Melythina Tiakana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation's (MTWAC) Tebrakunna Ranger Program will see the program expand to 11 full-time Aboriginal rangers, who will operate from a base at Cape Portland in North East Tasmania.

The organisation's chair, Nick Cameron, said the the program's expansion will be a "game changer" for the MTWAC community, with the current ranger program reliant on Tasmanian Community Fund and philanthropic funding.

"It gives us security of employment for at least four years up until the end of 2028," Mr Cameron told National Indigenous Times.

"It will allow us to run the two different men's and women's groups up on the cape, and we'll be able to work with parks and dual manage all the reserve areas and hopefully Mount William National Park as well."

MTWAC has been preparing to expand the Tebrakunna Ranger program by undertaking a customised workforce development program, training 14 trainee rangers in a Certificate III in Conservation and Ecosystem Management with training partner, TasTAFE.

Following the funding announcement, some of these trainee rangers will now be employed directly within the newly expanded ranger program.

"Projects the rangers will undertake on our traditional lands and sea country will include vegetation regeneration through cool burning and replanting, invasive plant and animal management and control, land and beach rubbish clean-up, land maintenance and possibly some tourism signage or walkway development," Mr Cameron said.

"The rangers will also do some important surveying and monitoring of cultural sites and sea country resources in and around the Cape".

Mr Cameron said an expanded Tebrakunna Ranger Program will provide support for Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife in the north east of the state in areas such as Mount Cameron Reserve, Blue Tier Reserve and Mount William National Park, with plans to also expand offshore.

"We want to get into some marine research and monitoring with IMOS (the Integrated Marine Observing System) and uTAS (the University of Tasmania)," Mr Cameron said.

"It'll also give us the ability to help support Heritage Tasmania in making sure we can monitor the critical heritage sites up there and provide some protection of those, especially in monitoring impacts of sea level rise as it starts to occur and hopefully protect some of the critical areas."

MTWAC are now actively planning for the recruitment of new Aboriginal rangers to commence early in 2025, with Mr Cameron saying the growth of the program will have commercial benefits for the organisation.

"For MTWAC, growth in the ranger program will also have a commercial revenue component, so we'll be able to commercially start using the program to do some cool burning under a commercial arrangement… and that will help us generate some some some income as well," he said.

MTWAC says through the Tebrakunna Ranger Program, Tasmanians will be able to see first-hand the benefits of Aboriginal people undertaking cultural land and sea country management practices.

The funding grant is part of the Federal Governments targeted national Indigenous ranger program investment, which will see more than 1,000 new Indigenous ranger jobs created across the country through the four year, $355 million investment.

115 projects will receive funding including 35 in Queensland, 23 in Western Australia, 21 in New South Wales, 12 in Northern Territory, 11 in South Australia, 9 in Victoria and 4 in Tasmania.
