Apply now to join the EDO First Nations Strategic Advisory Committee

Posted: July 2nd, 2026

The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from First Nations people to join the First Nations Strategic Advisory Committee (FNSAC).

The FNSAC provides First Nations cultural advice to the EDO to strengthen outcomes for First Nations people. It will also support the development of a First Nations Program, including a First Nations Strategy and input into work areas such as climate justice, cultural heritage, and advocacy.

Applications are encouraged from people with community and grassroots experience, cultural knowledge and connection to Country, and expertise across areas including policy, climate or environmental work, cultural heritage, law, governance, and advocacy. This includes First Nations Elders and those with cultural authorities, emerging First Nations leaders, First Nations people from remote and regional areas, and First Nations people with diverse lived experience and perspectives.

Remuneration and travel support will be provided, with members contributing to about five meetings per year. Applications can be submitted in written, audio, or video form, with the EOI process closing on Friday 7 August 2026.

Apply via this EOI online form, or email Jonathon.captainwebb@edo.org.au for more information.
