It was established under the ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elected Body ACT 2008. It consists of seven people representing the interests and aspirations of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. It provides direct advice to the ACT Government with the ambition of improving the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Canberrans, a step towards true reconciliation.
