Overview
Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation (CUAC) is a place where culture, creativity, and community come together. Located in the heart of the Illawarra, we invite you to visit, connect, and learn.
Their art space showcases powerful works by local Aboriginal artists—each piece telling stories of Country, culture, and community. You'll find original artworks alongside thoughtfully made items like tote bags, tea towels, and prints, all featuring Coomaditchie designs. Every purchase helps support local artists and community programs.
Wander through the community garden, where native plants grow alongside seasonal produce. It's a space shaped by traditional knowledge and shared care. You might even be able to pick up fresh eggs or veggies while you're here.
Coomaditchie is more than a place—it's a living expression of culture and resilience. Whether you're exploring the art, joining a workshop, or simply having a yarn, you're welcome there. Your visit supports our ongoing work in cultural education, youth programs, and advocacy for Aboriginal people.
