Yued Aboriginal Corporation is set to receive approximately $2.7 million over three years through the latest Indigenous Ranger Program Expansion grants from the National Indigenous Australians Authority.

Established a year ago through the WA government's Aboriginal Ranger Program, the Yued ranger program has been building capacity and experience over 2025 and is set to deepen its skillset with this Commonwealth contribution.

Yued Aboriginal Corporation is a party, alongside WA's Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, to a Cooperative Management Agreement which sets out how the Corporation helps guide policies and procedures applying to the conservation estate in the Yued Agreement Area.

In addition, Yued Aboriginal Corporation is seeking to have land included in the Noongar Boodja Trust under the terms of the South West Native Title Settlement that is to be cared for by Yued for the purposes of cultural heritage protection, including conservation of the cultural landscape.

Yued Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Rewi Lyall said the grant will "ensure we can expand our program to employ more Yued, particularly Yued yorgas (women) to care for Country".

"Over the past year we have been working with State government departments on a program that will see our rangers trained and certified for fire management activities," he said on Friday.

"The recent fire emergency at Mogumber Mission has strengthened our resolve to see Yued actively involved in traditional fire management practices across Yued Boodja."

Yued Aboriginal Corporation has run its ranger program from offices and associated shed and nursery space under a licence agreement with Central Regional TAFE at its Moora campus since July 2025.
