The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) is a corporate Commonwealth entity established under the ATSI Act and subject to the PGPA Act. The ILSC assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to realise economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits that the ownership and management of land, water and water related rights can bring.

Economic independence for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is at the heart of IBA’s vision and programs.

We want Indigenous Australians to have the same financial opportunities as other Australians. Through IBA’s programs, we attempt to remove some of the obstacles that may prevent our customers from creating wealth, accumulating assets and fulfilling their aspirations.

These programs assist Indigenous Australians to buy their own homes, own their own businesses and invest in commercial ventures that provide strong financial returns.

PBCs can request general assistance from the NNTT in relation to things like mapping, Register searches and negotiating ILUAs or future act agreements.

In particular, the s 60AAA amendment to the NTA allows PBCs and common law holders to request the NNTT to provide assistance in promoting agreement about matters relating to native title or the operation of the NTA. This includes NNTT assistance in the resolution of native title PBC disputes.
