The NPY Women’s Council became incorporated under new legislation in 2008. The council undertook a significant period of consultation with its members—spread across a large geographic region—in the lead-up to lodging its new rulebook (formally known as the constitution) with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC).
As a result of those consultations, members introduced new clauses into the rulebook including key guiding cultural principles such as:
- Ngapartji ngapartji kulinma muna iwara wananma tjukarurungka: respect each other and following the law straight
- Kalypangku: conciliatory
- Piluntungku: peaceful and calm
- Kututu mukulyangku: kindhearted
- Tjungungku: united
- Kunpungku: strong
