HANDING IT BACK
ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE OFFICERS
At Artefact we believe that Aboriginal people are best placed to manage their own heritage.
That’s why we’ve created the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Officer program and employ Aboriginal people in specialist positions.
We want to foster the next generation of First Nations heritage experts through this program of employment, training and mentoring.
