FORWAARD Aboriginal Corporation is an Aboriginal controlled organisation which provides a variety of rehabilitation programs for mainly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have issues with drug or alcohol use.  

The Corporation recognised the need to upskill its workers to make a difference in the life of people experiencing substance abuse, so it introduced workforce development strategies to deliver nationally recognised training programs to ensure its staff have the skills and theoretical practices to support their clients. 

The staff at FORWAARD Aboriginal Corporation are the key to driving the corporation and come from a range of backgrounds, ages, cultures and skillsets. One thing all staff have in common is their passion for making a positive difference in the lives of others. 

The corporation’s collective mission is to help the most disadvantaged people in society recognise and achieve their life goals.
