Women's Karadi Aboriginal Corporation was established in 1989 to create a separate women's space that allowed for activities that although could be perceived as just 'arty farty' had an underlying objective, ie. to increase self esteem, promote health and other issues.

Over the years, the changes to program delivery have been many, but the pupose of Karadi has not changed. That is to:

 
* Help Aboriginal women's needs and aspirations
* Be an Indigenous specific organisation
* Assist in the promotion of Health and Aboriginal Community relations
* Continue to advocate and promote Women's issues within the Aboriginal and Wider Community


Karadi is based in Goodwood (Tasmania) and is governed by a seven member board of directors and currently employs 12 staff.

Some of the agencies that fund Karadi are -

Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health

Indigenous Co-ordination Centre

Department of Health and Ageing

Tasmanian Community Fund

Department of Health and Human Services

As KARADI is also a Neighborhood House, we offer a range of programs that are open to the wider community, as well as the Aboriginal community.

These programs are HACC, Morning Tea and Community Lunch. During the year we also run other programs as part of the Neighborhood House, such as a school holiday program and exercise classes that are also open to all.

The HACC program includes the HACC Day Centre and HACC Personal Care hours.

All other programs run through KARADI are Aboriginal specific, including - Aged Care, Health Network, NAIDOC, Women's Cultural Retreats and the many activities that fall under our Indigenous Women's Program.
