Acknowledge
In 2020 we acknowledge that it is time to reflect on colonial history and structures inherent in the native title legislation and processes and move towards a future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ownership and leadership on their own terms.

Empower
A future that is governed and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, taking their rightful place to provide the voice for the nation.

Innovate
A future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander innovation in land, water and resource management practices, and responses to climate change and new technologies to provide commercial opportunities to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and drive the nation’s economy.
