There’s about a million because many are focused on a specific community and there’s a bunch of different issues that they focus on like health services, legal support, domestic violence survivor assistance, inter-generational trauma of the Stolen Generations, LGBTQIA+ specific Indigenous peoples, better education outcomes, etc. A lot are specific to either a state or even a city so there may be some in your community.

Here’s a big link dump for you though:

Legal:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services Qld Limited (Queensland, including Torres Strait)
• Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement Incorporated (South Australia)
• Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia Incorporated (Western Australia)
• Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Limited (New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory)
• North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency Limited (Northern Territory north and south zone)
• Tasmanian Aboriginal Community Legal Service (Tasmania)​
• Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service Co-operative Limited (Victoria).
• The Aboriginal Legal Service

Other subjects:

• Children’s Ground
• Bridge The Gap Foundation
• The Healing Foundation
• Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance (WAR) which I can’t find a website so I think just has a Facebook page
• Grandmothers Against Removals (another Facebook page)
• Black Rainbow
• Pay The Rent

And people will mention many more in the notes.
