Indigenous people are the most disadvantaged group in Australia with significant disparity in almost all indicators of Indigenous disadvantage. Such disparity, which is widening in relation to some indicators, is a matter of national concern. Australian and North American research is remarkably consistent in identifying the connection between the governance capacity of Indigenous communities and sustained economic development and social outcomes. This project will build on existing research to provide insight into processes, practical governance tools and best practice models to develop culturally legitimate frameworks for Indigenous communities for achievement of their economic, social and cultural aspirations.
