Members of Geoscience Australia’s First Nations Advisory Group and Geoscience Australia representatives with Uncle Bradley Bell, Ngunnwal Elder and Traditional Owner, gathered in Canberra for the group’s inaugural meeting on 23 September 2026.

Geoscience Australia has welcomed members of its First Nations Advisory Group to Canberra for the group's inaugural meeting.

Established with support from Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, the First Nations Advisory Group provides culturally informed perspectives and strategic advice to support Geoscience Australia's work and strengthen engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations.

The Advisory Group brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders with expertise across science, governance, policy, business, cartography, community leadership and STEM engagement. Members bring diverse perspectives and experience that will help inform how Geoscience Australia delivers programs, shares information and builds relationships with communities across Australia.
