Gippsland and East Gippsland Aboriginal Cooperative Ltd is a community controlled not-for-profit organisation that was established in 1972 to respond to poor health and housing outcomes for Aboriginal people in Gippsland, Victoria. It opened the Meerindoo Hostel for Aboriginal students at Bairnsdale in 1972, and ran it (with support from Aboriginal Hostels Ltd) until 2014, when Meerindoo was replaced by the Nungurra Youth Crisis Accommodation Centre. The Cooperative was founded as the East Gippsland Aboriginal Women’s Group, then in 1975 changed its name to the East Gippsland Aboriginal Medical Services Cooperative Limited, and from 1978 has been known as Gippsland and East Gippsland Aboriginal Cooperative Limited.
