The Federation is the peak body representing Traditional Owner Corporations across Victoria. Our corporations represent thousands of individual Traditional Owner members and the Federation provides a platform for our shared views.
Our aims are to work in partnership with government and industry in decision-making about Country, create opportunities for economic development and share our traditional knowledge to care for Country.
The Federation has established two joint ventures companies with leading businesses to power opportunity for our people. Barpa is a construction company set up with multi-national Cockram and On Country Heritage & Consulting offers services relating to cultural heritage management. In addition to creating careers, the dividends are reinvested back into cultural strengthening projects as the direction of our members.
