SECOND ROUND OF ELDERS WORKSHOPS FOR CULTURAL ADVICE POLICY

Each of the six Noongar Regional Corporations that will be created as a part of the South West Native Title Settlement will be required to implement a Cultural Advice Policy to provide ongoing support to cultural governance and decision-making within the Corporations.

•       Cultural Governance, Authority and Decision-making

•       Communication

•       Administration and Support

•       Open Discussion

•       Feedback & Summary
