Native Title Anthropologist Grant Program 2025-2028 Grant Closes: 25th of February 2025 - 9:00 pm Run By: Attorney-General's Department Further Information: https://www.grants.gov.au/Go/Show?GoUuid=a5d312c4-b8f6-4fb7-9ed6-e6db1dadf798

The program aligns with the Government’s commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, which sets out 4 Priority Reforms and 17 socioeconomic outcomes that aim to improve the lives of First Nations people. In particular, the program contributes to Outcome 15: ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people maintain a distinctive cultural, spiritual, physical and economic relationship with their land and waters’ and its targets.

The program seeks to increase native title anthropology capacity by supporting anthropologists planning to work or already working in the native title system. Increased capacity will facilitate native title parties having access to qualified and experienced anthropologists to support native title claims resolution, effectively manage native title, and engage in post-determination and compensation efforts. This work supports the recognition and protection of native title for First Nations people.
