20 Years Strong

Celebrate 20 years of Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKC) in Queensland.

10 October 2022 - 9 June 2023

IKCs are a hub for community, providing a place to gather and participate in programs based on community interests including traditional knowledge, culture and languages.

The first 7 IKCs opened in 2002, at Lockhart River, Aurukun, Erub, Mabauig, New Mapoon, Pormpuraaw and Wujal Wujal. Since then, a number of other centres have opened and now there are 26 across Queensland all created in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Shire and Regional Councils.

IKCs are place-based, and no two are the same, as they respond to the unique needs of their community and offer a whole cultural precinct wrapped up in one small building.
