Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation

Not to be confused with Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative.

The Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation, a Registered Aboriginal Party since 21 May 2009, represents the Aboriginal Australian people for the Geelong and Ballarat areas. Their responsibility includes ensuring that the Aboriginal culture is maintained there. The organisation trades as Wadawurrung or Wathaurung.[1][2]

The Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation has offices based in Ballarat, and implements responsibilities as a Registered Aboriginal Party under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006, although a separate group, the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative, based in Geelong, challenged the decision of the Aboriginal Heritage Council when the appointment was made.[3]
