About MobBOOST

MobBOOST is a new Indigenous Skills and Employment Program (ISEP) delivered by Accoras in partnership with the Inala Elders, designed to increase employment and meaningful engagement opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The program begins with connection, grounded in community, culture and trust, providing a culturally safe space where participants can explore their values, identity and goals while being supported to address personal barriers.

MobBOOST is participant‑led, with each person creating their own personal goal plan shaped by their aspirations, strengths and lived experience. Through skill development, confidence building and strong cultural support, participants are empowered to move forward with purpose.

Create your footprint, your journey, your way.

Designed with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, ensuring cultural safety, respect, and community connection are at the centre of all engagement

No one-size-fits-all model; each participant’s pathway is shaped by their strengths, goals, lived experience, and cultural responsibilities.

Prioritises building trust, confidence, and meaningful connection before focusing on employment outcomes

Ongoing, consistent support from mentors who walk alongside participants, providing guidance, advocacy, and practical assistance

Recognises that employment is only one part of a broader journey, supporting participants across community, wellbeing, skills, and personal development

Works closely with local organisations, including Elders groups and community leaders, to create culturally appropriate opportunities and supports.

Includes access to training, education, volunteering, and leadership opportunities to build confidence and capability over time.

Creates opportunities for Elders, adults, and young people to connect, share knowledge, and support each other’s growth.

Adapts to the changing needs of participants, rather than expecting participants to fit rigid program structures

Builds on what participants can do and where they want to go, rather than focusing on barriers or deficits.
