The Melbourne Indigenous Church Fellowship continues the long tradition of Aboriginal church communities in Melbourne that provide a spiritual home, Christian fellowship and practical support in a culturally appropriate context.

At the heart of the community is Tjilgamooda, the Aboriginal church affiliated with the Churches of Christ in SA. Leeroy Bilney is the current Chairperson for Tjilgamooda and is working closely with Naomi Wright to continue to grow the life giving ministry of the church.
Indigenous Connections, NSW
Indigenous Connections (IC) is an outreach in the Mt Druitt area of Western Sydney started by local Indigenous Christian couple David Haroa and Kelly Hickey. IC is about building a connection with the younger Aboriginal brothers of their community. Many of whom are struggling with the effects of generational marginalisation and poverty. It aims to teach them about their culture and also to impart that respect is a massive part of who they are. The program is teaching the boys about their culture through dance, story, art and helping them learn about who they are and where they come from.
