Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, the functions of the former Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Communities and the Arts are transitioning to new departments. Work is underway to update departments’ websites.

Path to Treaty

Following recent repeal of the Path to Treaty Act 2023 the work on progressing the Path to Treaty, including the First Nations Treaty Institute and the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry, have ceased.

Work is underway to conclude all outstanding business of the Institute and Inquiry, including the archiving of submissions, stories and information collected by the Inquiry.
