The Role of Members

The principal objectives of Djaara is to promote the health and wellbeing of Dja Dja Wurrung People and to protect and promote the laws, Culture, property rights and human rights of Dja Dja Wurrung People.

We work in collaboration with Members to ensure we reach these objectives and achieve our Dhelkunya Dja Country Plan goals and aspirations.
