What We Do

The Silver Lining Foundation (Foundation) is a non-profit organisation that offers tangible employment and on the job training opportunities to Indigenous people, particularly youth.
We do this by operating small businesses that employ Indigenous people. These businesses, trading as Iron Bark Ridge Services, operate from our facilities on our 235 hectare property half way between Murgon and near Wondai in the South Burnett, Queensland (about 270 kilometres North West of Brisbane).

Our facilities are on land traditionally owned by the Wakka Wakka People. The land is nestled among tall iron bark gums on a high ridge overlooking the rolling hills along Barambah Creek. It has been named Bahun Jal Mónó (BJM) meaning "place for people of tomorrow" by the local indigenous people.
The businesses provide environmental and rural services as well as a high quality conference facility. The business is headed up by a highly qualified manager with many years of experience, thus ensuring a service delivery that is second to none.
We recycle any profits made by the business back into the business, both to grow its capital base and to maximize the number of people we employ - our ultimate goal.
