Founded by the NSW Aboriginal Land Council in 2019, Birribee Housing oversees numerous properties across the state and is involved in significant projects like the Tolland Estate renewal in Wagga Wagga.

“They’re barely standing up. Old cottages that are cold, that are hot, and somehow society accepts that.”

“When the Country’s healthy, we’ll be healthy.”

The Point airs Tuesdays 7.30 on NITV, and is available after the broadcast on SBS On Demand.
