It attracts tourists from all over the world looking for an authentic Australian experience.<\/p><p>Worn Gundidj enhances this experience with unique insights into Aboriginal culture and heritage. In addition, our guides are informative about the local area and conservation efforts.<\/p><p>This enterprise provides a raft of employment opportunities for our local community. And not just for our tour guides. Tower Hill is also a destination for educational groups and events. By offering traditional ceremonies and catering we further increase participation within our community.<\/p><p>The Worn Gundidj Visitor\u2019s Centre extends those opportunities to an even larger community. Along with direct staff, we support Indigenous makers and artists. The Centre connects local and international visitors with Indigenous products and art.<\/p><p>A close partnership with Worn Gundidj Indigenous Nursery enhances outcomes for both social enterprises. Areas of alignment include conservation, food, retail and Government partnerships.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e346c90 elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"e346c90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content_menu\">\n<div class=\"menu-tower-hill-container\"><ul id=\"menu-tower-hill-1\" class=\"insert_menu\"><li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-156\"><a href=\"#\">What&#8217;s on<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-158\"><a href=\"#\">Get involved<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16ccdb9\" data-id=\"16ccdb9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-393619b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"393619b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video.jpg\" class=\"attachment-portfolio-mf-w size-portfolio-mf-w wp-image-1835\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video.jpg 564w, https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/services.worngundidj.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/video-113x75.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a78e81a logo-center logo-cas elementor-widget elementor-widget-mfn_our_team\" data-id=\"a78e81a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"mfn_our_team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"team team_vertical\"><div class=\"image_frame photo no_link scale-with-grid\"><div class=\"image_wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/towerhill.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scale-with-grid\" src=\"https:\/&#47;&#115;&#x65;&#x72;v&#105;&#99;&#x65;&#x73;&#x2e;w&#111;&#114;&#x6e;&#x67;un&#100;&#x69;&#x64;&#x6a;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#x67;&#x2e;au&#47;&#x77;&#x70;&#x2d;c&#111;&#110;&#x74;&#x65;nt&#47;&#x75;&#x70;&#x6c;o&#97;&#100;&#x73;&#x2f;&#x32;0&#50;&#49;&#x2f;&#x31;2&#47;&#87;&#x47;&#x40;&#x54;H&#45;&#50;&#x38;&#x30;x8&#48;&#x2d;&#x6c;&#x6f;g&#111;&#46;&#x73;&#x76;g\" alt=\"Social enterprise\" width=\"\" height=\"\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"desc_wrapper\"><p class=\"subtitle\">Tourism &amp; Retail Manager<\/p><p class=\"phone\"><i class=\"icon-phone\"><\/i> <a href=\"tel:0409 351 614\">0409 351 614<\/a><\/p><hr class=\"hr_color\" \/><div class=\"desc\"><p>Entrance Road, Tower Hill, Victoria 3283<\/p><\/div><div class=\"links\"><a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;&#116;&#111;&#119;&#101;&#114;hill&#x40;&#x77;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x6e;&#x67;&#x75;&#x6e;&#100;&#105;&#100;&#106;&#46;org&#46;&#x61;&#x75;\" class=\"icon_bar icon_bar_small mail\"><span class=\"t\"><i class=\"icon-mail\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"b\"><i class=\"icon-mail\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"icon_bar icon_bar_small facebook\"><span class=\"t\"><i class=\"icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"b\"><i class=\"icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><a href=\"#\" class=\"icon_bar icon_bar_small vcard\"><span class=\"t\"><i class=\"icon-vcard\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"b\"><i class=\"icon-vcard\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Profit for purpose: Indigenous social enterprise model Our Indigenous social enterprise businesses offer not just opportunity, but participation and ownership of opportunity.
