Investment thesis
The NIAA channels Australian Government funding to programs benefiting First Nations peoples. It administers the Indigenous Advancement Strategy and works to improve how government does business with First Nations communities so that funding outcomes improve their lives. Funding is allocated via the IAS, National Partnership Agreements, Special Accounts and Special Appropriations, and additional support such as the Support for Community Sector Organisations measure helps eligible organisations address staff wage pressures and inflation. Grant opportunities are published through GrantConnect and include both Indigenous-specific and mainstream programs delivered across government agencies.
