The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) is a corporate Commonwealth entity established under the ATSI Act and subject to the PGPA Act. The ILSC assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to realise economic, social, cultural, and environmental benefits that the ownership and management of land, water and water related rights can bring. The ILSC provides this assistance through the acquisition and management of rights and interests in land, salt water and freshwater country.

The Program Delivery Directorate oversees the management and implementation of the ILSC core legislative acquisition and management functions that assist Indigenous people to acquire and manage Country (land and water) across Australia. It does this to achieve economic, social, cultural or environmental benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It does so in accordance with the ILSC’s National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy. The ILSC has three operational regions being Central Division (based in Adelaide and responsible for NT, SA, Vic and Tas) Eastern Division (Brisbane responsible for QLD and NSW) and Western Division (based in Perth and responsible for WA).

- Developing projects that support the aspirations of Indigenous people and maximise the productivity of their assets.
- Providing reports, liaising with partners, and ensuring the performance of contractual obligations relating to scheduled works and lease agreements.

At the ILSC we offer:

More than just a job. We offer you the opportunity to make a real, positive difference to the lives of First Nations peoples.
