About us

On-Country Pathways is an Indigenous owned and operated not for profit organisation based in the New South Wales/Victoria border community of Albury Wodonga, servicing 17 locations in the Riverina Murray and North East Victoria regions.

We deliver employment and career pathway programs for First Nations people aged 15 to 24-years-old.

Our programs are free for participants and mentoring is a key component.

On-Country Pathways has a strong commitment to child safety, which is detailed in our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy.

We champion cultural safety, and we have a zero tolerance towards abuse and exploitation of children and young people. As a child safe organisation, we are committed to adopting and applying the national child safe principles.

We started out in 2022 with a focus on the construction industry and related trades. We now offer programs across all industry sectors.
