Registered Native Title Bodies Corporate Profiles
The NTRU has created profiles for all Registered Native Title Bodies Corporate (RNTBCs) in Australia.
Under the Native Title Act 1993, ss. 55-57, as part of the determination of native title, native title groups are required to nominate a ‘prescribed body corporate’ or PBC to hold (as trustee) or manage (as agent) their native title. Following a determination, prescribed bodies corporate are entered onto the National Native Title Register. At this point, the corporation becomes a registered native title body corporate or RNTBC.
The profiles contain information about the organisation recognised as an RNTBC, including (where available) the:
- History of the organisation.
- Profile information: name, geographic details, contact details, and website.
- Administrative information: Corporation number, corporation date, and links to relevant corporation documents.
- Native Title Determination Information: links to NNTT determination details, and links to relevant case law.
- Agreements Information: links to Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs) details.
- Additional information: media releases.
RNTBC profiles are available on the PBC website.
