In the remote coastal town of Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory, Damien Djerrkura leads one of Australia's most dynamic Aboriginal-owned businesses, the North East Arnhem Land Aboriginal Corporation (NEALAC).

Awarded the 2025 Blak Business of the Year by the Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network (NTIBN), NEALAC is a model of Indigenous-led development. For Djerrkura, who started working with the organisation as a teenager, the role is personal. "My father was general manager here in the '90s," he said. "I used to come back on school holidays and work at YBE (a charitable fund operated by NEALAC). There's a lot of family history."
