It provides both opportunities and support for Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, as well as community links and relevant historical advice to public policy makers.
Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research

Maintaining the highest standards of international scholarship, it aims to inform intellectual understanding, widespread public debate, government policy formation, and positive community action.
Centre for Native Title Anthropology
The Centre for Native Title Anthropology (CNTA) is a unique collaboration between the ANU and the Australian Government which aims to enhance the practice of native title anthropology in Australia.

It also works to ensure the University makes a leading contribution to national policy in the relationship between Indigenous Australians and the nation.
