Our Story
A foundation forged from loss, built for action.
The Wesley Lockyer Foundation was established in memory of Wesley Lockyer, a young Aboriginal man who went missing from a remote community in Western Australia's Pilbara region in October 2022. His family searched for answers across vast, unforgiving country — often feeling unseen and unsupported.
Wesley's story drove the foundation's beginning, but its mission is universal: every year, people from all walks of life go missing across WA's remote north — tourists, station workers, travellers, and long-time locals alike. This foundation exists so that no family, whoever they are, faces that search alone — and so that the work of finding their loved ones is pursued with the persistence and respect they deserve.

Remote-focus
01
Proactive, not passive
We do not wait for families to find us. Our coordinators reach into remote communities, build trust before crisis, and mobilise the moment someone is reported missing.
02
Culturally grounded & inclusive
Born from the disappearances of young Aboriginal men in WA's remote north, our work is led with respect for Country, elders, and community protocols — and extends that same diligence to every family we support, whoever they are.
03
Independent and persistent
We work alongside police and emergency services, but we do not stop when official searches scale back. We keep families supported for as long as it takes.
