The Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee advises that its Inquiry into Aboriginal Governance continues to progress, specifically focussed on governance standards in South Australian Aboriginal community-controlled organisations.

The Committee acknowledges the written submissions and oral evidence already received in the Inquiry, along with the Inquiry Interim Report having been tabled in the South Australian Parliament on 26 October 2021.

The Committee now invites submissions from stakeholders who have not previously provided submissions or seek to appear before the Committee in the Inquiry, with a closing date of 22 July 2022.

The Terms of Reference for the Inquiry and all public evidence received to date is available on the Committee’s website: https://www.parliament.sa.gov.au/en/Committees/Committees-Detail (Then proceed to the Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee, ‘2021-2022 Aboriginal Governance Inquiry’.)

New written submissions and expressions of interest should be addressed to: Executive Research Officer Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee c/- Parliament House GPO Box 572, Adelaide SA 5001 or via email at alpsc@parliament.sa.gov.au.

Please indicate if submissions are requested to be received on a confidential basis. The Committee advises that the Inquiry is not the appropriate forum for allegations to be made against individuals.
