The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) is a not-for-profit social enterprise where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can access opportunities to achieve excellence. NCIE recognises and celebrates the existing and emerging strengths and assets in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Our vision is that NCIE is a place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can access opportunities to achieve excellence.

The NCIE site features a Fitness and Aquatics Centre, Sports Field, Conferencing and Accommodation facilities, a successful Catering business all of which which support our community programs.

Born out of an idea in 2006 for a National Indigenous Development Centre, the Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) with the support of the local community, purchased the land where the Redfern Public School had operated for over a hundred years.

The heritage-listed buildings were converted to conference, accommodation and office spaces and thye purpose built gym and aquatics centre, and sports field were developed. The NCIE remains part of the ILC

The NCIE is an independent, not-for-profit organisation and is classified as a Public Benevolent Institution. We have endorsement for charity tax concessions and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.

Your support of the NCIE is an investment in the employment health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We thank you for your support!
