YMAC Native Title Forums
Free to attend for Traditional Owners, as well as Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC) staff and directors, from within both of YMAC’s representative regions, our annual ‘Native Title Forums’ provide a great opportunity for attendees to network and learn more about native title, its related processes, the different roles and functions of various stakeholders (like YMAC and PBCs), current reforms and opportunities, sector updates, and much more.
Unfortunately, YMAC has made the decision to postpone its 2025 forums to early 2026.
Please be advised, both of YMAC’s 2025 Native Title Forums – scheduled for Thursday, 14 August (Marlpa (Pilbara) Region Forum) and Thursday, 28 August (Yamatji (Mid West, Gascoyne, Murchison) Region Forum) – will no longer be going ahead on these dates. We ask that you please share this information with others who you think may have wished to attend these events as well.
The decision to postpone this year’s forums was made due to the limited confirmation received from the State Government departments we had hoped could participate in the forums, as well as low registration numbers.
YMAC plans on focusing on the same theme for the forums in early 2026– water rights, access and allocations – as we know it continues to be a critical concern for many of the people and organisations we work with.
We encourage you to please regularly check this events page for future updates about the rescheduled forums, and/or please contact YMAC Projects Coordinator Teri O’Neill (E: toneill@ymac.org.au; P: 0418 115 908) to be added to the relevant mailing list.
