Have your say about draft legislation to amend the CATSI Act

This consultation closed 9am Monday, 9 August 2021.

he CATSI Act is the law that assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups to form corporations. The proposed changes to the legislation reflect recommendations from the CATSI Act Review Final Report which was published in February 2021 following a comprehensive review of the CATSI Act undertaken in 2019–2020.

We would like to hear from stakeholders about those parts of the draft legislation they support and those parts that may concern them in terms of practicality and implementation. We are also interested in hearing about whether the legislation is clear, easy to understand and readable.

We have developed resources to help you understand the draft legislation including:

• a guide which explains how recommendations from the broader review are being taken forward
• a series of fact sheets.
