The 2012 Victorian Local Government Aboriginal Engagement and Reconciliation Survey identified the number of Councils in Victoria who undertake these activities.
RESPECT | Treaty Developments
Key Treaty advancement developments are underway across Victoria and the Treaty Advancement Commission’s role is to establish an Aboriginal Representative Body by mid 2019.
Local Councils can keep across all treaty developments by visiting the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria.
RECOGNISE | Aboriginal self-determination
The Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework (2018-2023) is a useful resource for local councils to reference in terms of understanding the Victorian Government’s approach to working with Aboriginal Victorians, organisations and the wider community.
Launched in October 2018, the VAAF 2018-2023 highlights the Victorian Government’s proposed future action to support the advancement of Aboriginal self-determination through the following 11 guiding principles:
- HUMAN RIGHTS
- CULTURAL INTEGRITY
- COMMITMENT
- ABORIGINAL EXPERTISE
- INVESTMENT
- EQUITY
- ACCOUNTABILITY
- PARTNERSHIP
- DECISION-MAKING
- EMPOWERMENT
- CULTURAL SAFETY
