Who We Are

The Illawarra Koori Men’s Support Group (IKMSG) is led by Aboriginal elders and supported by the local community. It was founded and is run by Aboriginal men (members) who reside in the Illawarra region. With a focus on issues that affect not just the physical but also the social, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the entire community, we seek to provide culturally appropriate programmes and services to Aboriginal men and male youth living in the Illawarra.
