The central objectives of Tangentyere Council are to relieve the poverty, sickness, destitution, distress, misfortune and/or helplessness of Aboriginal people in Central Australia.

Based on these criteria, our vision is to provide, as leaders in Aboriginal development, and in a culturally sensitive manner, the highest ethical and professional standards in the provision of services to the Alice Springs Town Camp communities, Housing Associations and others, whilst influencing change where appropriate and recognising individual human rights and community needs and expectations.

The Job Shop has a three year contract with JOB futures to deliver Job Network services in the town of Alice Springs for Indigenous job seekers until 2006. The Job Shop also delivers the Personal Support Programme, aimed at assisting people with major barriers to getting a job, on behalf of JOB futures.
