Overview

The FoNT program consists of a three-day workshop for Native Title Representative Body (NTRB) staff and Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs). The program is intended for all NTRB staff including field officers, legal staff, anthropologists, researchers and administrative staff, and will be particularly relevant to new staff with little or no experience of working in the native title system. The FoNT program offers an introduction to working in the native title system and in an NTRB. By engaging participants in a variety of activities, the program aims to contribute to improved work performance and satisfaction for individual participants and for NTRBs as a whole.

The three-day workshop explores a variety of themes relevant to the work of NTRB staff, including:

	overview of the native title system
	history and development of native title and native title law
	overview of the role, responsibilities and functions of NTRBs
	examination of roles and responsibilities of NTRB staff
	cultural awareness
	communication skills and processes
	multidisciplinary and multicultural teamwork
	conflict resolution
