Preview new Toolkit
The Indigenous Governance Toolkit is an online resource developed for Indigenous nations, communities, individuals and organisations searching for information to build their governance.
It covers all the basics – your rules, values, culture, membership, leadership, and decision making – and has many examples of ideas that work from other groups, tools to help you get started, and useful guidance to sustain your efforts.
Mick Dodson speaks about Governance
We have been working on updating the Indigenous Governance Toolkit and are excited to share the first section with you – ‘Understand Indigenous governance’.
The toolkit is a free, public-access document. You can use the toolkit in many different ways, depending on your circumstances and needs. You can explore it individually or as a group, and at your own pace.
Read the toolkit just like a book, or jump to whichever topic interests you.
Use the toolkit to customise your own strategies and solutions.
Use the check-up resources throughout the toolkit to see how you are going.
Download or print out sections of the toolkit as you need them.
AIGI connects Indigenous groups, individuals and organisations to world-class best-practice expertise and knowledge.
