Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation was set up in 1997 to represent the interests and further the aspirations of the eight Larrakia families, particularly with respect to Native Title. Administered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act, it is a dynamic, membership-based organisation, and a major Aboriginal service delivery and business development organisation in the areas of community services, homelessness support, land and sea monitoring and management and arts, culture and knowledge.

Larrakia Nation's membership, currently more than 740 people, consists of descendants of the original inhabitants of the Darwin region, drawn from the 8 main families: Batcho, Browne/Talbot/Kenyon, Cubillo, Fejo, McLennan, Raymond/Mills, Roman and Shepherd. These eight families are represented on the organisation's logo by eight spears, together with the major totem for the Larrakia people, dangalaba (Crocodile).
