About The Aurora Project
Overview The Aurora Project is the collective name for a number of programs that work with Australia's Indigenous communities and organisations to facilitate prosperity through capacity building. To achieve this, the Project focuses on professional development in law, anthropology, research, management, education and other disciplines. 'Aurora' is the Latin name for the goddess of dawn and symbolises renewal and rejuvenation. The five interlinking circles of our logo evoke figures joining hands, representing entities working together, motivated by a shared vision.
The development of the Project followed the launch in April 2005 of the 'Report Into the Professional Development Needs of Native Title Representative Body (NTRB*) Lawyers'. We are working with the Commonwealth Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) and Rio Tinto to implement many of the recommendations made in the April 2005 Report. April 2005 NTRB Report * Note that the term Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs) includes Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) receiving specific funding to perform some NTRB functions.
News & Updates In 2008 the Project undertook a three-module pilot Indigenous Management Development Program for Indigenous managers (current and future) in the Miwatj region of North East Arnhem Land. The program aimed to enhance the capacity of managers of Australian Indigenous organisations in the Miwatj region to develop sustainable business activities through the provision of managerial competencies relevant to managing projects, organisations and communities in the area.
