Indigenous Remote Communications Association
IRCA is national peak body and resource agency representing and advancing the interests of the remote Indigenous media sector as well as the media and communications interests of remote and very remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia.
IRCA recognizes and promotes the historic role remote Indigenous media practice has played in the maintenance of language and culture, self-representation and community development and acknowledges the role remote Indigenous media organisations (RIMOs) have played in the development of the industry and sector.
IRCA's sphere of activity encompasses those many discrete and diverse communities that continue strong traditions of language, law and cultural practice. IRCA specifically represents the unique needs of remote Indigenous people far from urban and regional populations and service centres whose media and communications practice is critical and essential for well-being and cultural integrity.
This website provides a snapshot of the sector and a sector content management system enabling remote media organisations to profile and manage data pertaining to their networks and footprint.
