This unit develops student's understandings of theoretical and practical approaches to change and decision-making processes involving Indigenous communities in Australia and other comparable nations. Attention is given to the frameworks for decision making and opportunities for the participation, negotiation and consultation with Indigenous communities. A critical assessment of power, control and decision making processes at local, regional, national and an international level is undertaken. The unit provides conceptual frameworks and tools required to assess change and implement reforms affecting indigenous communities. There is an emphasis on problem-solving and information analysis.
