NSWALC Social Impact Report 2022-2023
Dive in to discover the inspiring positive changes happening in Aboriginal communities. Together, we’re making a difference!
The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council is pleased to present our Social Impact Report, for the first time, it represents a full year of the implementation of our Social Impact Evaluation Framework, providing a valuable snapshot of how we are meeting the needs of Aboriginal communities and our 121 Local Aboriginal Land Councils across NSW.
The first year of implementing the Framework (2022-2023) demonstrated that NSWALC is having an impact, particularly in relation to improved access, management and ownership/control of land, and in supporting LALCs to take part in culture and heritage activities.
The report reveals many pleasing outcomes as well as areas where we have work to do. Intensifying our services to the community and highlighting the influence of NSWALC activities.
