We want to hear from you- YMAC’S Core Stakeholder Engagement Consultations EOI
In coming months, YMAC will be undertaking consultations with various stakeholders in our representative regions to help implement our new Strategic Plan 2021-2025. Click here for more info.
Law Reform
For Traditional Owners, Aboriginal cultural heritage is at the heart of caring for Country. It is unique to each group and its significance is recognised globally.
YMAC has been advocating for over a decade for legislative reform that will result in:
- stronger recognition and increased protections for cultural heritage; and
- a more equitable position for Traditional Owners when negotiating what happens on their Country.
To find out more about the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill visit our Law Reform page.
Upcoming Events
Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions YMAC management have made the decision to POSTPONE the following meetings:
