Saltbush Social Enterprises

Saltbush Social Enterprises (Saltbush) is a not-for-profit organisation that was developed in response to the critical need for grass roots opportunities that can create prosperity parity for marginalised Territorians. In 2016, this fledgling charity was established by a group of passionate Territorian business women, led by Karen Sheldon AM, who saw a desperate need to provide targeted services to some of Australia’s most disadvantaged people. Today, as an Aboriginal organisation, Saltbush focuses on advancement through building capacity, capability and improving opportunities for education, training and employment. We work hard to deliver the vital missing links in the ‘chain of change’ to create prosperity parity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people throughout the Northern Territory. Saltbush believes that a person with a job is a person with a future and our practices are underpinned by an orientation that focuses on an individual’s resilience and their capacity to grow and change. We tailor flexible services with a ‘boots on the ground’ philosophy to ensure we deliver local solutions to local challenges for individuals families and communities.
