Welcome to country
Uncle Allan Murray is a descendant of the Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi nation where his parents belong too. His father – a stolen generation – comes from the Cummunga village on the Murray River. His mother is from the north west of NSW, a little town ship called Walgett located in the heart of the Kamilaroi nation.
Allan has held both the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson role of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council (MLALC) and has been a member of the Land Council for 15+ years.
His role with MLALC backed by a solid board who are tasked to bring change, strive for economic and self determination to represent 17,000 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders who reside in the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council boundaries.
Allan has several qualifications in business management and human resources practices. His priority is in providing leadership to community members, support our youth and continue the recognition of our elders who are the gate keepers of knowledge, respect and wisdom.
Ageing Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, sea, waters and community. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past and present.
