Indigenous Advisory Group

Our Constitution, updated in 2016, acknowledges and honours Country, recognising the vital role of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities in our mission, and local area. This update also established the Indigenous Advisory Group within our governance structure.

The Indigenous Advisory Group is comprised of Elders, community leaders, artists, and cultural workers.

They provide guidance on:
Co-curating the Indigenous Cultural Program.
Cultural protocol.
Organisational cultural competency.
Building relationships with Indigenous artists and communities.
Represents us at Indigenous forums and events nationally and internationally.
