Section 1: Agency overview and resources1.1 Strategic direction statementThe Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) is an independent Australian Government statutory authority established to provide economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders by assisting with acquisition and management of land. The ILC was established on 1 June 1995, and is governed by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 (ATSI Act). The ATSI Act defines that the ILC has two functions: land acquisition and land management. The ILC’s functions are to be exercised “in addition to, not instead of” the functions conferred on other agencies (s191F(3)). The ILC has three priorities for the achievement of Indigenous benefits through acquiring and managing land:
The ILC’s primary source of income is an annual payment of $45 million indexed from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Account (Land Account) pursuant to s193C (3) of the ATSI Act. The Land Account is administered by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). The Board is the ILC’s primary decision making body and sets out the ILC’s strategic direction, policies and strategies in the National Indigenous Land Strategy 2007–12. The Board oversees governance of the ILC’s administration, considers land acquisition and land management proposals, and monitors performance. The ILC provides assistance with land acquisition and land management through calling for applications from Indigenous organisations and landholders, and initiating projects to respond to opportunities to deliver significant Indigenous benefits. Key strategic priorities for the ILC will continue to be the achievement of training and employment outcomes and collaboration with other government agencies, industry, peak Indigenous organisations and the non-government sector. These collaborations bring additional expertise, funding and resources to achieve a more significant impact. The ILC is committed to monitoring and evaluating its Land Acquisition and Land Management Program to ensure benefits are being achieved and progress is made towards achieving its outcome. The ILC has evaluation and benefits frameworks that guide it in monitoring its performance and informing its strategic planning. 1.2 Agency resource statementTable 1.1 shows the total resources from all origins.

Section 2: Outcomes and program performance2.1 Outcomes and performance informationGovernment outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which the government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs which contribute to Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years. Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of Indigenous Land Corporation in achieving Government outcomes.
Outcome 1 strategyThe statutory purpose of the ILC is to assist Indigenous people to acquire and manage land to achieve economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits. The National Indigenous Land Strategy 2007–12 describes that the ILC will assist with the acquisition and management of land-based projects that achieve the following priorities. Provide access to and protection and maintenance of land with cultural and environmental valuesThe ILC recognises the importance of land to Indigenous peoples’ cultural identity. Indigenous people can apply for assistance with land acquisition and management of land with cultural and environmental significance, and to protect and maintain the cultural and environmental values of land. Deliver socio-economic outcomes for Indigenous peopleThe ILC assists projects that deliver social and economic outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Priority is given to projects that provide sustainable employment and training that leads to employment. The ILC believes that sustained employment creates a range of benefits for Indigenous people, including increased standards of living, income and improved health and wellbeing. In 2011–12 the ILC will call for applications that achieve these outcomes, including assisting Indigenous landholders to develop viable businesses and sustainably manage their land. In addition, the ILC will continue to operate employment and training projects on agricultural and tourism businesses to host Indigenous trainees and transition them to employment. Provide Indigenous youth access to educationThe ILC believes that education is crucial to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage and is committed to collaborating with responsible agencies, including DEEWR and FaHCSIA, to establish projects that assist young Indigenous people, especially in remote and regional Australia, to access education. In 2011–12, the ILC will continue to collaborate with other agencies to acquire land, and/or establish student hostels on Indigenous-held land, to assist Indigenous students to gain access to education. Aligning with Government prioritiesIn pursuing achievements against these priorities, the ILC seeks to build a secure and sustainable land base now and for future generations. Achievements will also contribute to the following closing the gap targets; halving the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade; and halving the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 attainment or equivalent attainment rates by 2020. Indigenous owned or controlled land is included in the Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage Report (2009) as an indicator of economic participation and development and of the social and cultural relationship between Indigenous people and their land. In 2009, Indigenous owned or controlled land comprised 17.3 per cent of the area of Australia (excluding native title lands). Approximately 4.7 per cent of Indigenous-held land in Australia has been acquired by the ILC.
