The Australian Indigenous Governance Institute (AIGI)

AIGI is an independent, Indigenous-led centre for governance knowledge and excellence. We connect Indigenous Australians to world-class governance practice, resources and professional development to meet their self-determined governance needs.

 

We envision a future Australia where Indigenous peoples, communities and nations can pursue and exercise their right to self-determination and economic development through strong self-governance.

 

We work alongside Indigenous peoples in their efforts to determine and strengthen their own sustainable systems of self-governance.

 

Our People. Our Governance. Our Way.
