Homelands, also known as outstations, are remote areas where small populations
of Aboriginal people live on lands to which they have traditional ownership or
historical association.

​

The Northern Territory Government coordinates the Homelands Program to 
deliver housing maintenance, municipal and essential services to support 
Aboriginal people to live on, develop and maintain their homelands.

​

Demed is funded by and works closely with the NT Government to currently deliver 
the Homelands Program to 16 outstations across more than 24,000 sq km.
