Community Publishing supports Communities to write and illustrate their stories in language.
Reading Opens Doors
to future opportunities and choices
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national charity of the Australian Book Industry, working with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities across Australia.
Be part of the story
ILF is Community-led, responding to requests from remote Communities for culturally relevant books, including early learning board books, resources, and programs to support Communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice.
“Our Communities and families are strong. They are the backbone of our culture and our first educators. Our aim is for remote Communities to drive our process; to anchor the ILF's literacy programs into the family and Community structures. It is a powerful thing that can change the world for us.”
- Ben Bowen, ILF CEO
