YARN Australia was founded by Warren Roberts in 2007 in Sydney on Bidjigal Country to encourage Australians to build intentional relationships with Original Sovereign Nations of Australia through storytelling, events and workshops.

Our's is a story of collaboration through events and workshops with schools, universities, communities, organisations, festivals and individuals, to enact a vision of a more unified and inclusive Australia.

It begins in 2007 at The Armidale School where Warren Roberts had been a student. Warren established a Cultural Program at the school providing students with the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Original Sovereign Nations of Australia of their culture and history. The Program was also discussed at the Presbyterian Ladies College (PLC) in Armidale, as Warren met with their prefects to initiate a conversation there.

Later that year YARN Australia was officially founded at the University of New South Wales with the goal of uniting Original Sovereign Nations of Australia and non-Indigenous Australians through workshops and events held within safe and respectful spaces. Initially, these spaces were focused in universities, but they have since expanded throughout the community, and across the continent.
