National Native Title Tribunal Totally Explained

Everything about The National Native Title Tribunal totally explained

The National Native Title Tribunal is an Australian Commonwealth Government agency set up under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth). It is part of the Attorney-General's portfolio and mediates native title claims under the direction of the Federal Court of Australia (FCA). The Court makes determinations on whether native title exists, or not. On request, the Tribunal assists people in negotiations about proposed developments (future acts), such as mining. The Tribunal acts as an arbitrator or umpire in some situations where the people involved can't reach agreement about proposed developments. The Tribunal also assists people who want to negotiate other sorts of agreements, such as indigenous land use agreements.

What does the Native Title Registrar do?

Under the Native Title Act 1993, the Registrar has specific functions that include:

the application of the registration test to native title claimant applications
the maintenance of the Register of Native Title Claims, the National Native Title Register and the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements and provide public access to these registers
the processing of applications for the registration of indigenous land use agreements
the provision of assistance to applicants and other people involved in native title proceedings, and
the notification to specified people, organisations and governments of native title applications and indigenous land use agreements.

Provision of assistance

The Tribunal is an independent source of information and assistance for everyone involved in native title. It has Registries in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. The Tribunal isn't a court and doesn't decide whether native title exists or not. It brings stakeholders together so they can explore ways to reach agreements about native title.
