Format: 5.30pm Registration for 6pm Presentation followed by networking drinks and canapes.
Selwyn, as a relatively recent appointee to the role of Registrar has a mission to change the approach to indigenous corporations, where possible, away from enforcement and toward support and turnaround.
In this session, Selwyn will discuss ORIC’s role as the Federal Regulator for Indigenous Corporations and how the CATSI Act provides inherent support mechanisms to ensure that Indigenous Corporations can continue trading and providing services to their community, even when experiencing financial difficulties through proactive regulatory interventions.
