Assessment Services

We provide advice to government, organisations and individuals in regards to the Aboriginal cultural heritage matters within our ancestral homelands.

We do this by surveying sites to identify the presence of Aboriginal cultural heritage. Following this, we evaluate the nature and significance of the findings. This heritage comes in various forms such as objects (i.e. artefacts and remains) and places of spiritual significance (i.e. burial sites and sites on songlines or dreaming tracks). The purpose of these activities is to ensure the protection and preservation of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
