Principles and protocols for cultural land management governance and research

Natural hazards managements agencies and research institutions all have legal and ethical obligations to engage with Indigenous peoples no matter where they work in Australia.

This resource summarises a review of relevant collaborative principles, processes and protocols for agencies and research institutions. A companion guide to the principles and protocols is also available to support individuals and organisations in implementing them as a starting point for local and in-depth conversations.
