Waltja’s Community Guide for Aboriginal Knowledge and Intellectual Property Protocols.

Together with Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre (DKCRC), Waltja developed a set of protocols outlining rules for researchers – called the Community Guide for Aboriginal Knowledge and Intellectual Property Protocols. These protocols provide guidance on how local Aboriginal people and researchers can work best together and in a way that respects Aboriginal culture and knowledge. The community guide and protocols are still in use today.
 

In 2011, Waltja and DKCRC were recognised for excellence in innovation in the development of these protocols. Read the full community guide.
