First Nations

Facilitating First Nation’s capacity for self-government and economic sustainability must be enhanced across Australia.

In regional Australia where many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are remote, dislocated from the conventional economy and government services, both the need and desire is even more apparent.

RFF is committed to providing resources which support and empower Traditional Owners on their Nation Building journey.

We can particularly assist in:

• Facilitating engagement with the private and public sector;

• Advocating for public and industry policy transformation;

• Understanding the economic and land use opportunities for country;

• Developing project ideas through feasibility to become investment ready;

• Supporting land use agreement and land access negotiations;

• Developing evidence and outcome based research on the merits of First Nation Building.

In all our work with First Nations, our desire will be to support internal capacity building, aligned with the principle of achieving self governance and sustainability of First Nations.
