About
Nyirrunggulung-Rise, located in the Northern Territory of Australia , is a joint venture creating job opportunities, providing training and supporting social infrastructure.
The Jawoyn Association and RISE Ventures have joined forces to deliver the Community Development Programme (CDP) to boost employment and training in the central Arnhem region. This partnership’s strategy puts Indigenous people and communities at the heart of its operations.

Great Place to Work
Nyirrunggulung-RISE is a Great Place to Work
In October 2022 we conducted the first of our annual Great Place to Work surveys and were delighted to be #GPTWcertified by our staff.
The survey also allowed us to see areas where we could improve and has helped us develop a roadmap to increase employee satisfaction.
Thanks to everyone who participated, we are proud of the achievement.
