Aurora Project Native Title Internships
About the native title internship program The Program introduces anthropology, law and social science students and graduates to career opportunities in native title, policy, social justice and Indigenous affairs and aims to provide assistance to under-resourced and over-worked Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs) and Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) as well as various other organisations working in these areas including Indigenous corporations, government bodies, community groups, not-for-profit and policy organisations.
History of the internship program The placements program has been placing law students at NTRBs and other organisations since 2003. In winter 2006, the program expanded to include anthropology students and in 2007 was diversified further to include other social science students (including archaeology, cultural heritage, environmental management, history, human geography and sociology students). The program continues to attract enthusiastic participation by university students as well as graduates and has grown significantly since its inception when 15 students were placed at 10 NTRBs. To date, the program has received a total of 1,841 applications (comprised of 1,524 legal, 162 anthropology and 155 other social science). We now have 607 alumni of the internship program (465 legal, 81 anthropology and 58 other social science). From the Project’s inception, 66 legal internship alumni from 21 universities are working, have worked or are about to commence working at NTRBs as a result of the legal internship and locum placement program, and an additional 6 lawyers are working at NTRBs as a result of the Australian Government - Rio Tinto Scholarship Program. Thirty-seven law graduates have taken up full-time positions as a result of the Aurora internship and scholarship programs, which is over 40% of the number of lawyers working in NTRBs at the time of our April 2005 Report. In addition, 18 anthropology internship alumni have worked or are working in the system. Seven of these are in full-time positions, which is over 15% of the 45 anthropologists in the NTRB system at the time of the 2004 Anthropos Report.
