One of our key roles is to bring our technical and subject matter expertise to Australia’s governance ecosystem through our connection to universities and research projects. We draw from what is working at a state, national and international level and make it relevant in a local context.
AIGI was established following wide-ranging consultations with Indigenous community leaders and representatives and governance researchers and consultants in the public and private sectors. We continue to build on this foundation of data and insight by working with our partners and stakeholders.
Our research partnerships drive a strategic research agenda based on community needs – including case studies, theoretical and practical models, and innovations within the Indigenous governance space.
