Amplifying Traditional Owner voices in the media, raising Traditional Owner concerns through advocacy and celebrating Traditional Owner vision through policy is at the core of our work.
We do this through publications, media and engagement.

Discussion Papers
The development of the Federation’s treaty Discussion Papers was funded by the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) to support Aboriginal Victorians with the transition to treaty.
The Federation released six papers, developed to align with the insights and questions posed during Traditional Owner treaty engagement meetings.
The discussion papers successfully stimulate ideas, discussion and debate about treaty and agreement making in Victoria.
Annual Reports
The Federation publishes its financial statements detailing the group’s financial performance and that of its subsidiary companies.
The accounts are prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting standards, and as a registered charity, the Federation is subject to regulation by the Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission.
Strategic Plans
The Federation is the Victorian state-wide body that convenes and advocates for the rights and interests of Traditional Owners while progressing wider social, economic, environmental and cultural objectives.
We support the progress of agreement-making and participation in decision-making to enhance the authority of Traditional Owner Corporations on behalf of their communities. Together, our joint purpose is to facilitate and amplify a strong voice for Traditional Owners and progress our shared interests.
