Bronte Gosper's Company Details
Indigenous Remote Communications Association (IRCA) was established in 2001 as the peak body for remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) media and communications. Until mid 2016, it represented 150 Remote Indigenous Broadcasting Services (RIBS) across Australia, supported by eight (8) Remote Indigenous Media Organisations (RIMOs), plus other non-RIBS and aspirant remote media groups. From July 2016, IRCA is now moving into a transition phase of becoming the national peak body representing the remote, regional and urban broadcasting, media and communications industry. IRCA considers ATSI managed media and communications an essential service in ATSI communities, providing access to relevant media and information services, supporting health and wellbeing, enhancing skills and employment, and social and economic development. Further, IRCA recognises that media practice has an historical and proven role in the maintenance of language and culture, self-representation, community development and cultural safety.
