INTRODUCING SALTBUSH FOUNDATION 2 FUTURE
A Grassroots Solution for Lasting Change
The Saltbush Foundation 2 Future initiative is a holistic, person-centred employment and engagement program designed to break the cycle of welfare dependence and empower individuals to pursue sustainable careers. Saltbush is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged Aboriginal people by fostering employment opportunities and closing the employment gap. Through this initiative, we build meaningful, long-term relationships that create sustainable change in communities.
What We Offer
Saltbush Foundation 2 Future provides a business-driven solution, inviting participation from businesses and philanthropic organisations committed to creating true social change.
Social Impact Partnership
We collaborate with recognised social impact specialists to deliver transparent, real-time results that can be monetised, offering clear ROI insights for better-informed future funding and policy decisions
Collaborative Approach
We work with existing services to enhance health, housing, social, welfare, and justice programs while providing tailored support for each participant.
Employer Support
After delivering comprehensive training and developing employability skills, we provide on-the-job mentoring to help participants integrate into the workforce.
A Unique Person-Centred Approach
At Saltbush Foundation 2 Future, we focus on the person, not the program. Our initiative is designed to provide enduring support to local Aboriginal jobseekers who need specialised engagement, employment, and career development assistance.
Our Approach Includes:
-
Cultural Support:
We help participants make sense of their opportunities while fully supporting their cultural growth and obligations. With Territory-wide jobseeker and family networks, we have earned the trust of even the most dis-engaged members of society, enabling us to inspire and support them in breaking free from welfare dependence. -
Therapeutic Engagement:
Using a therapeutically informed approach, counselling and mentoring are integral to our relationships with participants, allowing us to understand personal needs and plan accordingly. -
Intensive Mentoring:
Our mentoring program focuses on strengthening each person's aspirations, building self-esteem, confidence, and the capacity to succeed.
Innovative, Flexible Training
​
Participants progress through a series of engagement, self-care, and work-ready modules. They gain hands-on experience in various industries and workplaces, learning both the theory and practice of work.
This flexible model allows each individual to progress at their own pace, ensuring they achieve their personal goals.

We accept 240 participants annually, with 60 places available in each of the following locations:
