ICA AUSTRALIA

The Recognition Campaign: We are involved in a nation-wide effort to win recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia's Constitution. We do this by spreading the word and holding public forums on the issue. 

Network building: We continued to network with a number of key organizations, among them the Sydney Alliance, local and national Development Circles, and Reconciliation groups. 

Timor Leste: We continued our partnership with organizations in Timor Leste, looking for more ways to respond to its great needs.  

Biripai camp: At the invitation of the elders of the Biripai Aborigines and sponsorship of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, we took part in a wonderful three-day event involving 150 girls and women at the Biripai Saltwater land camp in Taree, New South Wales.
