Thank you to everyone who attended a community engagement session and shared their knowledge, views and lived experience. Feedback received will help inform and shape important new laws to protect Indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights.

We held 43 face-to-face community engagement sessions in 38 locations across each state and territory as well as 3 online sessions. These sessions welcomed all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and relevant stakeholders from the arts and cultural sector to discuss what should be included in the new legislation addressing the harm caused by fake First Nations style art, merchandise and souvenirs.

For a snapshot of the key themes that emerged during the sessions, read the overview of the 2024 community consultation sessions.

Read about the topics discussed at the community engagement sessions.

If you would like to discuss protection of Indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights please contact the team.
