Voices of our Success: Stories of Success from the 2014 Indigenous Governance Awards

In 2014, 113 Indigenous-led organisations and projects applied providing a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into the innovation, practice and understanding of Indigenous governance.

The 2014 Indigenous Governance Awards applicants confirm what we already know: that strong and effective governance is a change enabler. What additionally stands out about the applicants is that they are inherently ‘for purpose’. These organisations strongly prioritise mutual accountability and innovatively craft governance arrangements to ensure that projects, services, and programs serve the interests of those they impact.

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.
