FNAE-ROO’s
FNAE Roos — More Than a Team Our FNAE Roos aren’t just winning games — they’re rewriting futures. These fierce young women are rising through netball, building confidence, connection, and cultural pride. With every pass, every goal, and every challenge overcome, they’re showing what’s possible when community stands behind them.
This is more than sport. This is strength in motion.
Culture & Identity
We keep culture alive and strong in everything we do — from sharing stories and language, to running workshops that connect our mob to tradition, healing, and identity. Through every program, we’re building pride, passing down knowledge, and helping the next generation grow with strength, purpose, and deep cultural roots.
Because when culture thrives, our people rise.
Enterprise for Good
We run Indigenous-owned social enterprises that fund our programs and create real impact—through Yawu Brew Coffee, culturally designed vending machines, corporate art rentals, and BBQ trailers that are free for communities and rentable by businesses to support our work.
Connection & Community
We bring people together through local events, grassroots fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and long-term partnerships that support community-led action and strengthen the ties that hold us together.
