Natasha Short

Natasha has been passionate about social change and righting injustices since a young age after witnessing decades of socioeconomic disadvantage with Aboriginal communities throughout the Kimberley region.

Drawing on her 25 years of experience in the community development sector, Natasha founded Kimberley Jiyigas to provide business consulting services to indigenous women. The organisation has grown into a movement of Kimberley Indigenous women who are passionate about influencing social change.

In less than four years, she has grown Kimberley Jiyigas into an extensive network of Aboriginal women throughout the Kimberley. With their diverse skills and expertise, they provide business services and products to tackle social problems, as well as opportunities for employment and training in indigenous communities.

In addition to mentoring, community education, leadership development, and organising and speaking at women's events, Natasha has been heavily involved in community education and organising women's events.

Natasha is committed to Aboriginal people succeeding and living purposeful and independent lives and believes that giving them the resources and support they need, she can help them transform communities.
