Advisory Groups

IYLP Advisory arrangements 2006 to 30 September 2010:

Established in 2006, the IYLP Indigenous Advisory Group (IAG) consists of prominent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members and the IYLP National Reference Group consists of education sector representatives. Both groups have contributed to the success of the program, particularly through advice on cultural integrity and design enhancements. From 2009, both groups have come together at joint meetings convened by the Department. Future advisory arrangements are currently under review.
