PBC Regional Forum

PBC Regional Forum 2024

Supported by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) and Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC), the National Native Title Council (NNTC) hosted its biennial two-day workshop for Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs) at The Woolshed in Carnarvon in June.

Designed specifically for PBC Directors from across YMAC’s representative areas, the forum was an opportunity for all attendees to hear about work being carried out by the NNTC, NIAA and YMAC, as well as to collaboratively identify and discuss issues common to the sector and our regions.

Presentations were also provided by representatives from Commonwealth and State Government agencies, including on critical topics such as the recent Aboriginal cultural heritage law changes in Western Australia, and the Australian Law Reform Commission’s ‘Review of the Future Acts Regime’ that is currently underway.

You can read the full 2024 report, which includes copies of each presentation given at the forum, here, and/or access the accompanying eBooklet created by NNTC, featuring various background information on presenting organisations and related fact sheets and handouts, here.

Country is our mother, the provider and keeper of cultural belongings. Country and Culture go together. You can’t have one without the other.

Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners and custodians throughout Western Australia, and on whose Country we work. We acknowledge and respect their deep connection to their lands and waterways.

We honour and pay respect to Elders, and to their ancestors who survived and cared for Country.

Our offices are located on Whadjuk Country, Southern Yamatji Country, Kariyarra Country, and Yawuru Country. We recognise the continuing culture, traditions, stories and living cultures on these lands and commit to building a brighter future together.
