The findings of the literature review, the stocktake of practice both in Australia and overseas and the four pilot projects have informed the creation of a set of five Guiding Principles for Indigenous Cultural Competency: Indigenous people should be actively involved in university governance and management.All graduates of Australian universities will have the knowledge and skills necessary to interact in a culturally competent way with Indigenous communities. University research will be conducted in a culturally competent way in partnership with Indigenous participants. Indigenous staffing will be increased at all appointment levels and, for academic staff, across a wider variety of academic fields. Universities will operate in partnership with their Indigenous communities and will help disseminate culturally competent practices to the wider community.

What was largely missed, however, was Mr Abbott’s description of Indigenous women when addressing the Garma Festival last weekend. Indigenous women were “cowering in their houses or their huts”, unempowered and fearful, and unable to participate in the decision-making processes that affected themselves, their families and communities.
