PRIME MINISTER & CABINET

New ideas? Funding is available for new pilots, which must be completed by 30 June 2019. Proposals should focus on Indigenous land holders and deliver practical improvements to their communities. Proposals need to demonstrate effective processes and lessons learnt so these can provide guidance and be applied to other communities across the north. You should contact the Department’s Regional Network on 1800 079 098 to discuss your ideas. PRIME MINISTER & CABINET
