How It Works

You share. We carry it to the people who can act.

Every conversation, survey, drop-in, or call adds to a protected picture of what Aboriginal communities are experiencing right now. IRAAC turns that picture into evidence — and takes it to government.

01

Community shares

Through a call, a survey, a drop-in visit, or a home visit — whatever works for you. Every response is voluntary and handled with respect.

02

IRAAC listens

Your response joins a protected, combined picture of what communities are experiencing — strengths, priorities, gaps, and barriers.

03

Evidence goes to government

IRAAC makes practical, community-led recommendations to government and relevant organisations — grounded in what you actually said.

04

We report back

IRAAC publishes what it heard, what it recommended, and what happened next — so community can see its voice made a difference.

Accountability

Governed well, reported openly

IRAAC meets the governance and reporting standards expected by Local Decision Making, Aboriginal Affairs NSW and ORIC — and shows its work.

Community-led evidence you can act on

IRAAC operates as a trusted intermediary between Aboriginal communities and government. Our findings are community-validated, methodologically honest, and built to inform practical policy and funding decisions.

📊

Real community data

Collected through trusted local relationships, not online panels or cold surveys.

🌍

Aboriginal-led governance

Community representatives lead the interpretation and validation of all findings before publication.

📋

Monthly reporting

Regular government briefings on emerging themes, priorities, and IRAAC recommendations.

🤝

Partnership-oriented

IRAAC works constructively with agencies — identifying opportunities, not just problems.
