The Koori Mail in Lismore is the oldest Aboriginal owned and run newspaper in Australia. During the 2022 floods, the head office was inundated then quickly turned into a recovery hub and kitchen. Community members supported the team to distribute donations, food, and services to residents for months after. In 2023, the team decided to build a community centre and cafe for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to continue connecting in a culturally safe space.
