How we’re strengthening your property assets 🏡📈

The Gumala Trust has been working hard over the past year to improve the performance, condition and long‑term sustainability of the Gumala properties - the homes and assets we manage on behalf of all Beneficiaries.

Here’s what we’ve achieved together:

– Stronger financial performance – The property portfolio is now generating almost $1 million more in revenue each year, with another $1 million in growth expected next year.
– Arrears reduced by more than half – Rent owed has dropped by around $275,000, thanks to regular checks and direct support for tenants.
– Repairs back on track – Since bringing repairs in‑house, we’ve completed 4 full home refurbishments, with 3 more underway.
– Over $1 million recovered in insurance claims – These funds go straight back into restoring and protecting Beneficiary assets.

These improvements show our commitment to managing your properties with care, transparency and accountability - and to building a stable, well‑maintained portfolio that supports all Beneficiaries now and into the future.

If you have any questions, please contact the Gumala Trust team at [email protected].

It’s National Reconciliation Week! 🌏✨

From 27 May to 3 June, we reflect on our shared history and the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

This year’s theme, All In, highlights that reconciliation is a collective responsibility. It calls on everyone to take part in building respectful relationships and working toward a more just and inclusive future.

National Reconciliation Week is anchored by two important milestones:

- The 1967 Referendum (27 May), recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Census.
- The Mabo Decision (3 June), which recognised native title and overturned terra nullius.

The Gumala Trust stands with community in recognising this history and supporting ongoing efforts toward meaningful reconciliation. 🖤💛❤️

Today, on National Sorry Day, the Gumala Trust acknowledges the Stolen Generations and the enduring impact of the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, communities and Country.

This day provides an important opportunity to reflect on the findings of the Bringing Them Home report, the national response that followed, and the continued significance of truth‑telling in Australia’s reconciliation journey.

As National Reconciliation Week begins tomorrow, we are reminded that acknowledgement, understanding and shared responsibility are essential to strengthening relationships between First Nations peoples and the broader Australian community.

The Gumala Trust stands alongside our communities in recognising this history and supporting ongoing efforts toward meaningful reconciliation. 🖤💛❤️
