Have your say on the Indigenous Advancement Strategy

The Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS) is the main way the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) funds and delivers programs for First Nations people and communities.

The NIAA has recently delivered new or expanded programs like the Remote Jobs and Economic Development (RJED) and Indigenous Rangers programs. We would like to build on this progress to make sure all IAS funding is meeting the needs and aspirations of First Nations peoples. 

To continue to improve the IAS, we want to hear from service providers, organisations, communities and individuals.

You can provide feedback on the IAS through the short online survey.

Survey closes at 11.59pm AEDT on Wednesday 4 November 2026.
