The Muurrbay Aboriginal Language Cooperative has secured three years of
federal funding, to let it continue to teach north coast indigenous
languages.

The Nambucca based centre has survived on year to year funding for almost
20 years.

Linguist Anna Ash said three years of funding will allow forward planning
and it is a vote of confidence in the work Muurrbay is doing.

She said it currently provides resources to dozens of schools in the region.

"Many schools are starting to teach Gumbaynggirr, and in other areas down
the coast," she said.
