About Us - Job Pathways

Who We Are

What We Do

Job Pathways (formerley East Kimberley Job Pathways or EKJP) is a not-for-profit community development organisation working across the Kimberley region to strengthen employment, skills and long-term economic participation.

Proudly owned in partnership by Wunan Foundation and Wirrum Dawang (formerly KREAC), we are community-led and grounded in local knowledge, culture and relationships.

Today, we are the largest employment services provider in the Kimberley, supporting more than 3,000 participants across the East Kimberley, Halls Creek & Tjurabalan, Bidyadanga and Broome.

Through our employment services, Wayfinder disability services, and Revive recycling and circular economy initiatives, we create practical pathways that strengthen individuals, families and communities.

We deliver employment, training and workforce solutions that create real pathways to sustainable work.

Our role extends beyond job placement. We;

Support jobseekers into meaningful, sustained employment

Partner with employers to strengthen local workforce capacity

Deliver community-led workforce initiatives

Provide NDIS disability supports through Wayfinder

Create employment and environmental outcomes through Revive

Invest back into the communities we serve

We operate as a workforce partner, not just a referral service, providing pre-employment preparation, cultural guidance, and ongoing post-placement support to employers and participants alike.

Our Strategic Focus

Our work directly aligns with the national Closing the Gap priorities

Target 7 & 8 – Employment & Economic Participation
Target 17 – Digital Inclusion
Target 19 – Shared Decision-Making

Community drives everything we do. Programs are shaped by local voices, cultural respect guides delivery, and strong relationships create stronger outcomes.
