Aboriginal Lands Trust

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (20 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised of the following:

Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation (AAR) continues to support the Aboriginal Lands Trust (trust), through the provision of annual grant funding, amounting to $1.082 million for 2024-25.

Trust communities receive funding for municipal services through the Office of Local Government and may receive support through other state and federal government agencies for programs, including to support youth, family violence prevention, Community health and wellbeing.

In addition to the above, AAR provides advice and support to the trust, as required, to manage its affairs and that of its communities, in accordance with the objectives of the Aboriginal Lands Trust Act2013 (ALT Act).
