The Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation (ALPA)

The Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation, or ALPA, was established in 1972 as a co-operative of community stores in Arnhem Land. Today ALPA has grown to be the largest Aboriginal Corporation in Australia and operates in 27 remote locations across the The Northern Territory and Queensland. With a vision of "Unity through Enterprise", ALPA now contributes to the development of local economies and indigenous business where they operate. Activities include: retail stores, accommodation and hospitality in partnership with local families, training and employment services through the CDP program, construction, mechanical workshops and homelands service delivery.
