Programs and Services

Tangentyere Council operates a wide range of services and programs for Aboriginal people in Central Australia.

While Tangentyere Council’s role developed initially around tenure, housing and essential services for town camp residents in the 1970s and 1980s, it quickly developed to encompass a range of family, community and social services to which people in town camps did not otherwise have access.

While most programs are for residents of town camps, there are a number of programs that are also directed at people from the wider Alice Springs community and from remote communities. Tangentyere Council believes that supporting remote communities on a regional basis is of benefit to those communities and town camps because of the close links between their residents.
