Vision and Mission

Background

The North Coast Aboriginal Development Alliance (NCADA) formerly Regional Aboriginal Development Alliance (RADA) is one of eight alliances across New South Wales. NCADA was set up under the NSW State Government’s (Aboriginal Affairs) OCHRE Strategy, specifically its Local Decision Making (LDM) initiative.

NCADA is underpinned by the principles of robust advocacy and leadership. The aim is to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Region have the requisite knowledge on issues affecting their lives and the confidence to enable them to voice their opinion on how services should be developed, delivered and evaluated.
