True Tracks®: a pathway to Indigenous engagement
True Tracks® is a unique professional development workshop that will enhance your Indigenous engagement and understanding of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) – Indigenous art, culture and traditional knowledge.

Do you need guidance with:
-
Engaging Indigenous suppliers?
-
Employing Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders?
-
Utilising Indigenous cultural heritage material (e.g. visual art, plant knowledge, language), but not sure who to ask or how to do it?
-
Reproducing an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artwork, but want to know the best approach?
-
Understanding how the leading agencies and corporates are managing their Indigenous engagement?
-
Realising a calm, holistic and proactive approach to Indigenous issues will be more effective than an urgent, stressed, band aid approach?
The True Tracks® method has been designed by Indigenous lawyer and businesswoman Dr Terri Janke who brings over 20 years of experience in the area of ICIP. True Tracks® has been successfully applied to a range of industries including; information technology, construction, communication, arts, design, museum & gallery, science, research and education.
