The National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy
The National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy (NILSS) 2023-28 guides everything the ILSC does.
Developed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia, this NILSS is the culmination of the ILSC’s largest ever nation-wide consultation over many months.
It puts Country at the centre and places self-determination and partnership at the heart of our work.
It also clarifies our role and future directions for being the lead national agency partnering with First Nations peoples in the return and management of Country.
