Dear Randle and the Centrecorp Board,
On behalf of the CHCA Board, CEO Ken Marchingo and myself, I would like to sincerely thank you and acknowledge Centrecorp’s generous commitment of $4.8 million to deliver 15 replacement properties for those currently leased to CHCA by private investors.
This investment is not only timely but truly transformational for the My Place program and the families it supports. It provides stability, certainty, and the foundation for a stronger future for those who need it most.
We deeply value our ongoing partnership with Centrecorp. Your continued support of CHCA’s purpose demonstrates a shared commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive Alice Springs through safe, secure, and culturally appropriate housing.
We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to working closely together to bring this next stage to life.

With gratitude and respect,

Doubling the Impact: Celebrating $200,000 in Matched Donations for The CAAMA Collection

In a powerful display of commitment to preserving Aboriginal cultural heritage, Centrecorp is one of two major donors to have each contributed $50,000 to support The CAAMA Collection.

These contributions unlocked the full potential of a matched funding opportunity by Creative Australia, resulting in a total of $200,000 raised. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in efforts to protect and preserve irreplaceable First Nation’s media archives before it's too late.

In a statement, the Centrecorp Board said it recognises the significance of the CAAMA archives to identity and cultural maintenance for the Aboriginal people of Central Australia.

“The Board has responded to the urgent need to preserve and manage the collection such that it’s value can be preserved for future generations,” it said.

The support comes at a critical time for the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA), as it undertakes a transformative project to safeguard decades of Aboriginal storytelling, language, music, and cultural knowledge.
