Team Projects:
- Unique Yet United
Responding to physical and social barriers which separate Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, “Unique Yet United” has developed a national set of principles and a program to which Australian communities can join and be recognised for positive local initiatives that celebrate difference and promote unity. - Schooling and Sexuality
Recognising a need to bring greater continuity to sexuality training for teachers, a National Standard is being developed for the training of all teachers in sexuality issues. - Young Indigenous Enterprise
Complementing the increasing range of youth enterprise competitions and programs, “Indigenous Enterprise” involves the establishment of a national young indigenous enterprise competition to help more young Australians achieve their dreams. - Strong Culture Strong Future
Supporting the remote Indigenous community of Numbulwar, the "Strong Culture Strong Future" initiative is developing and implementing strategies that improve the capacity of government to support opportunities for young Indigenous people in remote communities.
