Our mission is to champion the rights and interests of our members through proactive advocacy, meaningful networking, and skill-building opportunities. By supporting our members in developing the tools and knowledge to navigate the native title sector effectively, we elevate Traditional Owner voices to a national level.

Our work is guided by a rights-based approach rooted in best practice standards, such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).

The NNTC is the secretariat for the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance and Sea Country Alliance, the PBC Steering Group, a member of the First Nations Economic Empowerment Alliance with the Australian National University and the Coalition of the Peaks, and partner of the Mabo Centre with the University of Melbourne.
