Exciting news! Lutheran Care has partnered with CAAMA Radio in Alice Springs and we have secured a weekly timeslot on the station's drive show to talk about our programs in the region such as Financial Wellbeing and Emergency Relief.

Kicking things off yesterday was our Senior Manager - Financial Wellbeing Kelly Hughes, who was joined in the studio by our good friend Annie from NT Shelter. They discussed Homelessness Week and Kelly also shared details of some of our programs in Central Australia.

CAAMA Radio is a local station in Alice Springs that also broadcasts out to many of the region's surrounding communities.

Moving forward, you can hear members of our team every Thursday from 4.30pm giving tips on things like budgeting, information about scams and giving notice about any upcoming trips to community 😊

Thanks CAAMA Radio for your support!

Our Story

The Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) began operations in 1980 and was the first Aboriginal group to be allocated a broadcasting license. The Aboriginal people of Central Australia own CAAMA through an association regulated under the Incorporations Act , and its objectives focus on the social, cultural and economic advancement of Aboriginal peoples. It has a clear mandate to promote Aboriginal culture, language, dance, and music while generating economic benefits in the form of training, employment and income generation. CAAMA produces media products that engenders pride in Aboriginal culture, while informing and educating the wider community of the richness and diversity of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia.
