National Native Title Tribunal

The National Native Title Tribunal is an Australian government organization that helps resolve matters related to Native Title—Indigenous Australians’ legal rights to land and waters. It manages applications from Indigenous communities seeking recognition of their rights, facilitates negotiations, and assists with agreements between Indigenous groups and others, such as governments or developers. The tribunal aims to ensure fair and efficient processes, supporting Indigenous Australians’ connection to their lands while balancing broader land use interests. It operates independently to promote justice, reconciliation, and sustainable land management.
