The Australian Indigenous Governance Institute showcases eight 2022 Indigenous Governance Awards finalists who example innovation, self-determination, sustainability, effectiveness and cultural-legitimacy in their governance practices.
The Indigenous Governance Awards were established to identify, celebrate and promote effective governance in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and projects across the nation and their ability to organise, govern and self-determine their communities’ futures.
The Australian Indigenous Governance Institute, Reconciliation Australia, and the BHP Foundation proudly partner to deliver the Indigenous Governance Awards, which have been running biennially since 2005.
The 2022 Indigenous Governance Awards are unlike any others that have come before. Initially scheduled for 2020, these Awards were beset by almost two years of postponements, false starts and last-minute pivots due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As we showcase each of our finalists’ governance practices, we hope these stories encourage and get you thinking differently about your governance practices or how you might adapt or implement some of these practices for your own organisation, community or nation. Our finalists demonstrate that real change happens when practical, effective, and culturally-legitimate governance is in place.
We hope you find these stories inspiring and insightful.
