Jawoyn Leadership at the 2025 Aboriginal Tourism Forum We’re proud to have had strong Jawoyn representation at the 2025 Aboriginal Tourism Forum, with Jawoyn Board Members Robert Friel and Lazarus Manbulloo, young Jawoyn leader Jodi Woods, and Jawoyn man Noel McDonald Jnr sharing our vision for the future of tourism. Robbie and Lazarus spoke about where we’re headed in 2025 and beyond, ensuring Jawoyn voices lead the way in shaping the industry. Jodi Woods, fresh off receiving the Territory Champion Award the night before, shared her inspiring journey as a young Jawoyn woman pursuing a career in tourism. Her passion and dedication continue to inspire the next generation of Indigenous tourism leaders. Jawoyn people have been guiding visitors on country for thousands of years, and today, we’re ensuring that our stories, culture, and businesses grow stronger than ever. Thank you Tourism NT for your support as always. #Jawoyn #IndigenousTourism #Leadership #AboriginalTourismForum #NitmilukTours

Congratulations 🥂 Jake for the well deserved promotion.

Proud to share that we’ve been recognised as the Most Improved Business within the Quality Tourism Framework at this year’s Tourism Top End General Meeting. This year has been a huge one for us as we’ve worked to elevate our offerings and align with industry best practices. We added Sustainable Tourism and EcoStar accreditations, expanded our International Trade and Online Distribution, accredited our Visitor Information Centre, and are thrilled to have made the 2024 Gold List for our Cabins. The Quality Tourism Framework has been a game-changer for us, setting a benchmark that challenges businesses to lift their standards across every area of operation. It’s not just a certificate—it’s about consistently delivering exceptional experiences to visitors, supporting regional tourism, and ensuring sustainable growth. A big shout out to Aron Falletto, our Sales and Marketing Coordinator, for leading the charge on this initiative, and to our Operations Manager, Salil Salim, for their invaluable support in bringing it all together. It’s been a team effort, and the recognition is well deserved. Here’s to keeping the momentum going and continuing to set the bar even higher in 2025!

Nitmiluk Tours and Cicada Lodge were honoured to receive the Brolga Award for Tourism Restaurant and Catering Services at the recent Northern Territory Tourism Awards. There’s so much that goes into an award like this. On the night, we were proud to be represented by Jawoyn Board members, NT Parks (our co-managers of the National Park), and some young Jawoyn leaders. But the success of Nitmiluk comes from a much larger team. Across the Jawoyn Association, we have around 270 employees, making us the second-largest employer in the Big Rivers region after the government. At any given time, Nitmiluk alone has over 120 employees. This is a huge team effort, and the impact goes far beyond an award. A proportion of every dollar spent at Nitmiluk is reinvested into supporting the 10 Jawoyn communities across Big Rivers. This economic model reflects the Jawoyn vision of creating sustainable improvements in economic, social, cultural, health, and education outcomes—enhancing the quality of life for our people. We want to extend a special thanks to all the individuals and organisations who have supported us in achieving these goals. The model works, and we’re always open to sharing our approach with other Aboriginal organisations striving to improve outcomes for their communities.
