Aboriginal Affairs

Aboriginal Affairs NSW works with Aboriginal communities to promote social, economic and cultural well-being through opportunity, choice, healing, responsibility and empowerment.

We implement OCHRE, the NSW Government’s plan for Aboriginal affairs, establish partnerships for economic prosperity, support effective Aboriginal community governance and strengthen cultural identity and language.

As a government agency, we work alongside Aboriginal people and communities to make sure their voices are heard and interests represented.

Aboriginal Affairs NSW is part of the Community Engagement Group of the NSW Government’s Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC).
