CRAIG WILLIAMS

Craig is a descendant of Jackey-Jackey, King of Logan-Pimpama, and Jenny Graham, a prominent Aboriginal woman in the South East region.

As a Queensland Government Indigenous Advisor across Sport and Recreation portfolios, Craig works with national, state and regional sporting bodies to provide South East Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with sporting pathways and active and healthy lifestyle choices.

Craig is passionate about providing supportive and fulfilling environments which foster a positive transition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys to proud men, within urban and regional Indigenous communities. Through his work with Indigenous men’s groups, Craig utilises the didgeridoo as a catalyst for boys and men to unite and support each other through life’s journey.

In addition to being a YRACA founding Director, Craig is a member of Dreamworld’s Corroboree Indigenous Advisory Committee, the Gold Coast Suns Indigenous Advisory Group and was an AFL Multicultural Ambassador for 2016 and a member of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Indigenous Working Group.
