The Aboriginal Governance and Management Program (AGMP) provides support to Aboriginal organisations throughout the Northern Territory.


We provide culturally appropriate mentoring, training and advice to build self-determination and leadership within the Aboriginal community-controlled sector.

We provide practical support and mentoring to board members and managers of Aboriginal organisations.


Our approach is tailored to each organisation’s unique needs and cultural context.

We develop and deliver culturally appropriate resources, information, workshops and events to promote principles of

good governance.

We build confidence, skills and knowledge of Aboriginal boards to represent their members and the self-determined priorities of Aboriginal organisations.

We believe Aboriginal organisations with strong governance and management underpin Aboriginal community well-being and economic development.


“Governance is not just a matter of service delivery or organisational compliance or management. It is about the self-determining ability and authority of clans, nations and communities to govern: to decide what you want for your future, to implement your own initiatives, and take responsibility for your decisions and actions”. 


David Ross, (former) CEO Central Land Council
