IBN Corporation Pty Ltd

The traditional lands of the IBN people are in and around the Hamersley Ranges in northern Western Australia.

We have offices in South Hedland, Tom Price,  Karratha and Perth to offer our members the most services of any Aboriginal Trust in the Pilbara. Our community reach extends beyond our members and families, with IBN’s Community Programs reaching thousands of people across the region. Our offices also provide assistance every day to many other Pilbara Aboriginal people who are not IBN members.

Our objectives are:
  • To fulfil the hopes and aspirations of our people by our people
  • To empower through skills, knowledge, transparency and trust
  • To make our money work smarter, better and harder for our members
