Aboriginal Affairs NSW is a diverse agency with a broad remit that involves working with many stakeholders.
As a government agency, we work alongside Aboriginal people and communities to make sure their voices are heard and interests represented. By leading and influencing change in government, we support the social, cultural and economic aspirations of Aboriginal people in NSW.
Ultimately, we build capacity and confidence: changing and evolving the way our stakeholders think and work together to achieve positive outcomes.
