The National Agreement commits all parties to jointly establish six place-based partnerships to focus on implementation of the National Agreement at the regional or local level. The selection of these locations will occur through jurisdictional shared decision-making processes including relevant states or territories, local government and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as the Commonwealth through NIAA Regional Managers. The Commonwealth is supporting this engagement process by ensuring that the scope and implementation of place-based partnerships are in line with the strong partnership elements outlined in the National Agreement. This includes building on existing place-based approaches that align with community aspirations. Locations will be considered by Joint Council by November 2021 with partnerships to be in place by 2024.
