Naomi Moran

Naomi Moran is a Nyangbal and Arakwal woman from the Bundjalung nation in northern NSW, and has direct bloodlines to the Dunghutti nation on the mid-north coast of NSW.

She is the CEO of Australia’s only independent print national Indigenous newspaper the Koori Mail, established in 1991. Naomi serves as Co-Chair of First Nations Media Australia - the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander media - and serves as a member of the Federal Government's First Nations Digital Inclusion Advisory Group.

Naomi has over 25 years experience working in the Indigenous media sector across various platforms including print, television and radio. She is a creative writer and is passionate about supporting the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts sector, and is a board member of two peak creative arts and performing arts organisations in Northern NSW, NORPA and Arts Northern Rivers.

Naomi is deeply committed to supporting and strengthening Indigenous community-controlled sectors through the self-determination of Australia's First Nations people to govern their own affairs and lead and deliver programs, projects and community initiatives by community, for community.

Her strong background in communications, business, stakeholder relationships and governance has seen Naomi successfully lead the Koori Mail since 2016, and she continues to contribute to other essential work for our people around the nation through her strong leadership as a First Nations woman.
