The National Indigenous Training Academy (NITA) aims to empower the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by providing market-leading training and employment programs, and growing an Indigenous workforce.
The unique training, working and residential program supports trainees to participate in the local community, learn life skills and build a solid foundation for their future career. It includes accommodation and a dedicated residential and training team on location.

The Mossman Gorge Training Centre, opened in 2012, includes three training rooms situated in a lush tropical rainforest. Imagine sitting in an open style classroom where you hear the sounds of water running over the huge bolder rocks at the Gorge. The Centre also provides accommodation for up to 20 students, an open style dining venue with a state of the art commercial kitchen, a recreational area where students can relax, watch TV, play games, and a place to socialise. A small gym is also set up and dedicated for students.
Small Community, Big Opportunities
Two nationally recognised qualifications are delivered by the National Training Academy (RTO Code 45993) at Mossman Gorge – Certificate III in Hospitality and Certificate III in Tourism.
Students participating in the NITA program at our Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre will be living and working in a small regional community and may undertake their work placement directly with our Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre or with one of our many valuable Host Employers, situated throughout the Douglas Shire and Port Douglas.
NITA are proud to have developed and established mutual valuable partnerships with other local businesses in the Douglas Shire and provide quality work placement and employment opportunities.
