Our work
To ensure traditional decision-making and Banjima Lore and Culture are always at the core of our organisation, BNTAC and our Banjima Board of Directors regularly engage with the Banjima Community, its councils and committees, and the Banjima Elders Council.
As the Banjima Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC), our key responsibilities include the protection and maintenance of Banjima People’s native title rights and interests, ensuring good governance practices are maintained and that traditional decision making and Banjima law and culture are at the core of our organisation.
BNTAC also undertakes some Executive Office functions under a Benefits Management Structure (BMS). Under this structure, BNTAC works closely with Banjima's decision-making bodies to deliver targeted programs through our Member Services team that support Banjima culture, build the capacity of Banjima People and promote strong and healthy families.
