Aboriginal Advisory Committee

Cricket ACT is committed to reconciliation and ensuring that as a sporting organisation, we do all we can to learn, create awareness, promote and embed First Nations culture in all we do within our cricket community.

We are committed to working with our cricket community, broader community (in particular Traditional Custodians of the local Country), key stakeholders and partners to ensure we assist in closing the gap between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians.

The CACT Aboriginal Advisory Committee (CACT AAC) is an officially sanctioned advisory committee of the CACT Board. This advisory committee has the responsibility and scope to offer advice to management and the CACT Board on matters relating to Aboriginal engagement within the game of cricket.

The purpose of the CACT AAC is to provide a leadership and advisory platform to facilitate a partnership between Aboriginal people/communities and CACT to enhance the involvement of First Nations peoples at all levels in our much-loved sport of cricket.

We are currently seeking expressions of interest from our community for two First Nations members and one non-Indigenous member.

If you would like to express your interest in one of these positions, please contact our HR Lead Belinda Humphreys.

For more information, including commitment involved, please read the Terms of Reference for the Committee. 

Expressions of Interest will be received until 11.59pm, Wednesday, 20 September.

Cricket ACT acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and ancestors of the land we live and meet on, the Ngunnawal people. Cricket ACT acknowledges that other people and families also have a traditional connection to the lands of the ACT and region and we respect this connection to country. We honour and pay respect to the Elders in our local communities, both past and present.

We celebrate the participation of First Nations peoples, families and communities, and recognise their individual and collective shared connection and history with cricket. We are committed to listening and learning about how we as people, an organisation and community advocate for equitable outcomes and positive futures with all First Nations peoples.
