About Us
 
The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) is committed to improving the lives of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We work to support the Minister for Indigenous Australians, The Hon Ken Wyatt AM, MP.
The NIAA also works to influence policy across the entire Australian Government. We liaise closely with State and Territory governments, peak bodies and service providers, and Indigenous communities to ensure that Indigenous programs are delivering for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Central to our approach is to build the cultural capability of all staff to ensure we have a strong place-based approach that is responsive and respectful to the communities we work with. We partner with community to ensure our policy and delivery programs reflect the characteristics and the needs of a place to achieve maximum impact.
 
The Opportunity
