Indigenous Governance Awards - Celebrating Indigenous Governance

Reconciliation Australia have published Celebrating Indigenous Governance, a publication based on the applications from the 2005 Indigenous Government Awards.

The Indigenous Governance Awards were created by Reconciliation Australia in partnership with BHP Billiton to identify, celebrate and promote effective Indigenous governance. The national awards highlight success in Indigenous Australia - strong leadership, good management, effective partnerships and brave, creative thinking.

The first two years of the awards (2005 and 2006) drew 104 applications, with a total of $50,000 awarded to organisations to continue building and developing good governance. The achievements of the applicants, finalists and winners in previous years were widely reported in the Indigenous and mainstream media.

The publication, Celebrating Indigenous Governance - Success stories of the Indigenous Governance Awards is available for free download from the IGA website.
