Programs and Services

We deliver a range of community programs which work to build stronger, more sustainable communities throughout Western NSW.

We work with a number of partners to deliver these programs, including State and Federal government, local businesses, employers, community members and other not-for-profits. We create and get involved with programs that help increase pride in our communities, build people’s understanding of the region’s cultural heritage, and support young people and their education.
These all form part of our holistic and whole-of-community approach to improving the social fabric and living standards of Western NSW.

Peter Gibbs

Chief Executive Officer

Peter Gibbs, also known as “Chicka,” is a Gamillaroi man from the community of Weilmoringle on the banks of the Culgoa River in far western NSW. He has over 30 years of experience working across Western NSW in community development and leadership.

Peter has worked in shearing sheds, on cotton fields, for the NSW Aboriginal Land Council, TAFE NSW Western Institute, and as an advisor to both Federal and State Government Ministers. He has served on the Skillset Senior College board and is an active member of the Bourke-based Nulla Nulla Local Aboriginal Land Council.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the IPROWD Program — a training model that prepares Aboriginal people for careers in the NSW Police Force, developed after the tragic death of his sister Fiona while in police custody. Today, IPROWD is one of the most recognised programs of its kind in NSW.

Peter continues to lead with purpose and vision, partnering with government, business, and community to create better life outcomes for Aboriginal people across the region.
