Indigenous consultation

Under our Reconcilliation Action Plan (RAP), the ALRC is committed to:

• engaging and consulting widely, on all aspects of our work, with Indigenous groups, individuals and organisations;
• promoting Indigenous representation in the ALRC workforce and internship program;
• ensuring that all ALRC staff have a meaningful understanding of issues relevant to Indigenous peoples;
• ensuring that ALRC recommendations for law reform in Australia have regard to the interests of and impact on Indigenous peoples; and
• striving, in all aspects of our work, to protect and promote the rights of Indigenous peoples, and improve economic and social outcomes for Indigenous peoples.

The ALRC has developed the following materials relating to Indigenous consultation and law reform issues since it's first RAP in 2009.
