The Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA) was formed in Queensland in 1977 after Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community delegates from across Queensland, including from rural towns and isolated reserve communities, decided to establish a functional organisation to change legislation referred to as the 'Black Acts'. In 1981 FAIRA was involved in an extended tent embassy in the King George Square and in 1982 played a major role in organising protests around the Brisbane Commonwealth Games. After the Black Acts were terminated in 1984, FAIRA continued to campaign for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at the local, national and international levels. FAIRA was founded and continues to be operated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is funded independently, and its purpose is to fight racism, have the rights of Indigenous Peoples recognised and respected in Australian law and secure Land Rights. FAIRA utilises research-based actions to address exploitation and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Justice '88 (or Justice 88), a non-Indigenous coalition in support of sovereignty for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, was formed in November 1987 and was based out of West End, Brisbane. It was connected to the Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA). It provided a focus for non-Indigenous support for the struggle of land rights and aimed to build support for bicentennial protests. Justice '88 held meetings every Sunday at 69 Thomas Street in West End, which was, in 1980s, a house that belonged to a Christian community called House of Freedom. The weekly meetings continued until an unknown date. Justice '88 no longer appears to be in existence. Unable to determine when the organisation disbanded.

One People of Australia League was established in 1961 as an Aboriginal advancement organisation. It was based in Queensland. The OPAL House on Russell Street in Brisbane was established about 1960 by Joyce Wilding, to accommodate underprivileged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in need of shelter, but was later demolished around 1970 to make way for Expo 88. Residents were transferred to the Joyce Wilding Home at Eight Mile Plains (now the Joyce Wilding Hostel). The OPAL Centre was opened on Anne Street in Brisbane in 1971. It focused on welfare and housing. James (Jim or Jimmy) Hamilton was the first president, serving from 1961 to 1970. Neville Bonner was president from 1970 to 1974. Unable to determine when the organisation disbanded; there is no recent information online about it.

The Pauline Hanson Support Movement was a community organisation launched in October 1996 by Gold Coast resident Bruce Whiteside. Impressed by Pauline Hanson's hostility to Asian immigration, multiculturalism and government support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Whiteside's goal was to organise active community support for Hanson and her politics. In April 1997 the Support Movement's membership list was used to register the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, with Hanson as the leader.
