NSW Arwarbukarl Cultural Resource Association (ACRA) became an Incorporated body in March 2002, the organisation was formed by the need for a dedicated Cultural and Language organisation in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie area, Awabakal Country.
Today, ACRA's main focus is our work with our traditional languages for which we are funded by the Federal Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) under the Maintenance for Indigenous Languages Research program. We involve ourself in two main activities of language they are:
1. Awabakal Language Reclamation and Revitilisation
2. Development and training of Computer tools to aid Aboriginal Language work.
Our goal is to become Australia's leading Aboriginal Organisation developing empowering our people through technology to be successful in preserving and disseminating Australia's original languages.
