About the publication

Working on Country builds on Indigenous knowledge of protecting and managing land and sea country, and provides funding for Indigenous people to deliver environmental outcomes to the Australian Government. Their work will help to maintain, restore, protect and manage Australia's environment - the land, sea and heritage.

Working on Country will also contribute to the Australian Government's commitment to improving the lives of Indigenous Australian's through economic development, and to closing the gap on Indigenous disadvantage.
