Indigenous People

The City has a commitment to working in partnership with our Indigenous community and other government and non-government agencies to develop and support initiatives that provide services and benefits to Indigenous people living within the City of Armadale.

The City has worked on a range of initiatives in close partnership with the City's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Committee (ATSIAC).

The Champion Centre

The Champion Centre, located on Champion Drive Seville Grove is owned and operated by the City of Armadale.

The purpose of the Centre is to provide a culturally appropriate setting for the provision of services and programs for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people.

Activities operating from the Centre are provided by agencies, non-profit organisations and other community groups working in partnership with the City of Armadale. The City is partnering with the Department for Communities and Uniting Care West, both of whom run services from the Centre.
