The Aboriginal Ranger Program (ARP) is a tenure-blind grant program funding Aboriginal ranger organisations to operate ranger programs across the State. Organisations are funded per FTE under the ARP, and this may include funding for rangers and coordinators. Ranger teams may work across multiple locations and as such FTEs are not allocated per national park. The ARP currently funds one Aboriginal ranger organisation, Undalup Association Inc for 7.32FTEs, to work in, amongst other areas, Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
