"We feel compassionate in our beliefs and together with the advice of Aboriginal elders, set about giving back to the communities, as integral extension of our entire operation, to return a portion of our income to the Aboriginal people". Gayle Heron.

LI’TYA has recently partnered with the Yothu Yindi Foundation (YYF) to support one of their most recent initiatives. Dilthan Yolngunha: The Healing Place, is a groundbreaking community respite and rehabilitation service at Gulkula, near Nhulunbuy in North East Arnhem Land. It was set up in May 2007 under a trial sponsored by YYF and has proven extremely beneficial to all involved.
At Dilthan Yolngunha, Yolngu women led by artist and senior healer Gulumbu Yunupingu are treating Indigenous people through traditional healing practices, using medicines from the 'bush pharmacy' and time-honoured cultural practices and traditions.
“It is a mini-hospital,” said Ms Yunupingu. “The patient has the treatment. After the treatment, maybe in the evening, we put on a musical or someone to sing songs for dancing or make them happy. Not just treat them and leave them there.”
