More than a place of learning,
Tranby is a movement.
Tranby has long been Australia’s oldest Aboriginal community-controlled organisation. Tranby has nurtured generations of changemakers, leaders and activists, through culturally grounded programs and safe spaces where culture and knowledge thrive.
A safe place to gather, yarn and act.
Tranby has always been more than just classrooms. Our story is tied to grassroots activism and community-led change. From historic campaigns for Land Rights and Black deaths in custody, to today’s national conversations, Tranby continues to be a culturally safe meeting place for our people to pursue learning on their own terms.
Strengthening identity, amplifying voices, creating change.
The thousands of people who have walked through Tranby have become more connected with culture, confident in their identity and ready to make a difference. Their impact spreads like ripples in water, throughout families and communities nationally.

Programs & Opportunities
Designed with Mob, for Mob.Tranby supports pathways that go beyond study, helping people to strengthen their voice in Community, develop their leadership, and connect through cultural programs and events. Tranby offers spaces where Mob can grow and lead on their own terms.
At Tranby, we walk proudly in the footsteps of those who came before us. Their strength, vision and determination continue to guide our work as we make positive change happen.
Tranby continues to grow through strong partnerships and a commitment to First Nations learning, community empowerment and self-determination.
It is more important than ever that we develop the skills necessary for building, or rather, re-building, a self-determined First Nations economy. This work cannot happen without truth-telling, without listening to the stories that have shaped and continue to shape our communities.
