Indigenous Rangers Programs
Building skills, strengthening culture and caring for Country.
ESI’s Rangers Program creates meaningful employment for Aboriginal people while delivering practical environmental, cultural and community outcomes across the Balranald and Dareton regions.
Working alongside Traditional Owners and local Aboriginal organisations, Rangers develop practical skills, workplace confidence and leadership capability through training, mentoring and hands-on experience.
Rangers undertake environmental management, land care and cultural heritage activities including weed management, environmental monitoring, restoration works, digital mapping, field data collection and the protection of culturally significant places.
Our Rangers
The Balranald Healing Country Project and Dareton Healing Country Ranger Program support locally based Aboriginal Ranger teams to care for Country and contribute to their communities.
Each program is shaped by local priorities and cultural knowledge, ensuring Traditional Owners remain involved in planning and delivery. Rangers combine accredited training with practical field experience, building transferable skills that support long-term employment and career development.
Building Lasting Outcomes
The Rangers Program is about more than employment. It supports stronger connections to Country, increased confidence, leadership development and greater community participation.
Through Aboriginal-led environmental and cultural work, the program is building capable local teams while creating lasting benefits for Country, culture and community.
