Women's Ranger Strategy 2026- 2030

Women rangers are central to the long-term strength and sustainability of the Northern Land Council's (NLC) Caring for country program.

This strategy applies to Aboriginal women rangers working within NLC-supported ranger groups across the NLC region.  It builds on decades of advocacy by Aboriginal women for recognition of their cultural authority and equitable opportunities in ranger work.

Developed by NLC women rangers in partnership with NLC Caring for Country, it sets out a shared vision, key goals and practical actions. It affirms that women's knowledge and leadership are essential to healthy Country, strong culture, strong families and strong futures.
