Aboriginal Australia has made major strides since the late sixties and seventies in winning the right to organise and develop Indigenous community groups and enterprises. But Australia is at a crossroads in Indigenous community development. Opportunities to move forward will be hampered unless new approaches in effective management are applied to provide rigor in organisational governance.

In this free public lecture Sonya Pearce will reveal the critical role of education and research in bringing about sustainable success in Indigenous Australian community development.
