The Ambassador for First Nations People is responsible for leading the Government's efforts to embed Indigenous perspectives, experiences and interests across the Department and develop a First Nations Foreign Policy Strategy. The Ambassador will head an Office of First Nations Engagement, once established, within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), and work in partnership across government agencies and departments, especially working closely with the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA). The Ambassador is currently supported by the First Nations Taskforce in DFAT. A key role of the Ambassador is to undertake consultation with First Nations communities, leaders and advocates to listen and engage directly on how Australia's international engagement contributes to Indigenous community and economic development, supports First Nations businesses and exporters, delivers practical action on climate change, builds connections across the Indo-Pacific region and supports Indigenous rights around the world.

The ILSC’s primary grant program – Our Country Our Future – provides assistance for acquiring and managing rights and interests in land, salt water and fresh water country in order to achieve this vision.
