The vast majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations are not-for-profit (NFP) and many thousands of Indigenous people work in these organisations in a voluntary capacity. The principles contained in the Compact offer guidance and support to these organisations as they articulate clearly what a respectful partnership between NFPs and Government should be. I am committed to promoting respect and understanding between peoples and cultures and encouraging Government to listen and hear what the NFP sector has to say.
