Ngalaya (nar-lee-ah) was founded in 1997 by a group of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lawyers and law students at the University of New South Wales.
Since then, Ngalaya has grown into a registered charity that represents over 800 First Nations lawyers and law students across what is now called NSW and the ACT.
Ngalaya is governed by our volunteer Board of Directors, made up of First Nations lawyers and law students. Ngalaya exists to support and grow the next generation of First Nations law-makers.
Ngalaya provides networking opportunities, financial support and mentoring for First Nations people throughout their legal career.
