Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

  • NSW Treaty Commission Consultation
    The NSW Treaty Commission has been asked to listen to Aboriginal people across the State and report back on two key questions:

    – If so, what should that agreement include?

    There is no decision already made. The answers to these questions will come directly from Aboriginal communities.
