SWALSC is the Central Services Corporation for the South West Native Title Settlement (the Settlement) – the largest native title settlement in Australian history.

Prior to the commencement of the Settlement, for many years SWALSC was the native title service provider for the South West of WA – the Noongar region.

SWALSC as the Central Services Corporation provides a range of core administrative, corporate, financial, and unique services to the Regional Corporations (i.e. human resources, finance, IT, membership etc.), as stated in the Noongar Boodja Trust deed.

The Central Services Corporation provides services to the broader Noongar community including conducting research into Noongar traditional lands and customs, and being an advocate for the Noongar Nation.

The six Regional Corporations represent their Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA) groups across approximately 200,000 square kilometres in Western Australia's south west.

The Regional Corporations deliver services to their Noongar communities by managing and caring for cultural land and waters; maintaining, protecting, and promoting their unique culture, customs, and traditions; engaging with relevant stakeholders; identifying economic development opportunities, and working towards the overall benefit of our Noongar people.

Each corporation is guided by a member-elected Board and a Cultural Advice Committee. Cultural Advice Committees advise the Board on cultural decisions regarding land, heritage, and cultural matters.

Our new brand needs to reflect who we are, what we do, and where we are going. It should align with our mission: To support and inspire a strong and unified Noongar Nation.

Our new name should represent forever, unity, and a way forward for us all.

During July and August 2024, we hosted information sessions in each of the six Noongar regions to meet with our members, have a yarn about what SWALSC does now and why we need a new identity, and seek suggestions for our rebrand.

An online form for feedback is available on this webpage.

Our members will be invited to vote on our new name.

Following the information sessions, we send SWALSC members a link to an online poll with a shortlist of names to vote on.

Our new name, as determined by an online poll and the SWALSC Board.

An update will be provided at our AGM in November 2024.
