Led by the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance, in partnership with the Responsible Investment Association Australasia and UN Global Compact Network Australia, the Dhawura Ngilan Business and Investor Initiative was established in 2021 in response to the Juukan Gorge incident, recognising the need for First Nations-led approaches to cultural heritage protection.
The Dhawura Ngilan Business and Investor Initiative brings together First Nations, business, and investor communities to create a shared vision for strengthening Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage laws and standards in the private sector. The Initiative seeks to ensure that business practices uphold the human rights of First Nations Peoples, in line with international agreements and community expectations.
