The 2024 Indigenous Governance Awards marks the first time since 2018 that our judging panel were able to return to visiting communities in person, seeing first-hand the positive impacts of effective governance in our communities.
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.
We know that effective Indigenous governance successfully combines traditional practices based on culture and kinship while working within the requirements of non-
Indigenous systems. Our finalists are shining examples of how two-way governance works
in practice.
The Awards are also an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our finalists and their
governance practices by providing our readers with practical insights into what makes their governance so exceptional.
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.
