NguraMind AI
Who Are We?
We are NguraMind. Our name is a journey into the heart of what we stand for.
We chose “Ngura” — a word that in many Indigenous Australian languages means land, country, or home (also spelled Ngurra in some communities) — because it reflects our deep respect for the wisdom that comes from the land itself and the people who belong to it.
Why Did We Choose This Name?
We believe that every language, every story, and every culture is rooted in a place and its people. Our name represents a mind shaped by both the land and the communities who have nurtured it.
What Does This Name Represent?
This name represents a story of connection. NguraMind is a mind that listens to the land and the voices of its people.

Our Vision
To become the leading AI platform for Indigenous language preservation, accessibility, and empowerment — strengthening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, fostering cultural pride, and enabling full participation in the digital world.
Our Mission
NguraMind exists to learn, preserve, and revitalise Indigenous languages while creating practical tools that empower communities.
Our current work is focused on the First Nations Bible Project — a landmark initiative to translate the Bible into every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language, beginning with the Gospels.
Future Initiatives
– Language recording and archiving programs
– Learning resources for schools and communities
– Storytelling media in Indigenous languages
– Digital access to public services, health, education, faith, and business information
– Digital literacy and skills training in language
Each future initiative will be pursued in consultation with elders, communities, and stakeholders to ensure cultural integrity, community ownership, and measurable outcomes.
Why It Matters
By starting with the First Nations Bible Project and building the capacity to support broader Closing the Gap goals, NguraMind is laying the foundation for stronger languages, richer cultural transmission, and a digitally inclusive future.
