Whilst striving to make a better future for Indigenous people, Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation also understands that the community needs to retain the unique heritage and traditions that are integral to the Wanaruah community.

Our values reflect a philosophy of "inclusive membership" and work to establish relationships with other organisations. As a not-for-profit organisation, all income streams generated by Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation are returned to the Indigenous community through a range of constantly evolving programs and services. In this way the community as a whole benefits from the work done at Ungooroo.

Our values are therefore critical to our philosophy and include:

honesty, integrity and professionalism

commitment to, and respect for, our culture and heritage (past, present and future)

provision of services for our elders and opportunities for our youth

protection of our artists' copyright.
