In 2011–12, 40 employment outcomes are anticipated at the Mossman Gorge Visitor and Training Centre, and a further 50 employment outcomes are forecast for Ayers Rock Resort. The ILC supported Indigenous employees through on-the-job training and skills development. More than 300 accredited and non accredited training activities were undertaken by Indigenous people on ILC-granted businesses (Table 7, page 36–37) in a range of courses in rural industries e.g. beef cattle production, tourism and life skills. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Given the success of the ILC’s Training-to-Employment Initiative, and following a positive external evaluation, the ILC Board approved a three-year extension at a cost of $8.6m in June 2011. This new phase of the initiative will continue on all ILC business properties, the Mossman Gorge Gateway Centre and Merriman Station Shearing School. In addition, a new targeted property manager cadet program will be introduced in 2011–12, where six cadets will undertake structured on and off-the-job training for two years, to prepare them for management positions in the rural industry. For details of the training and employment outcomes achieved on each ILC-operated business, refer to the case studies starting on page 91. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The commitment of the ILC and Indigenous organisations in enabling employment for Indigenous people is clearly evident in our achievement of nearly five times the target set. Employment outcomes occurred in all categories of employment (see Table 9), with the greatest gains being in fulltime employment. Importantly, 296 (or 20%) of these employment outcomes were new Indigenous jobs filled in the reporting period. This achievement is significant and the ILC acknowledges the remarkable work of collaborating Indigenous organisations of government agencies, NGOs and industry across the nation (see Land Acquisition and Land Management program case studies, on page 46 and page 65, respectively). Table 9: Employment Outcomes Enabled Through ILC Assistance, by Employment Category.
In addition to newly created positions, ILC assistance enabled 1150 existing Indigenous jobs to continue, most of which were a result of the Land Management Program where 942 employment outcomes were sustained from the previous year. Employment outcomes were achieved through a total of 18 land management projects. Land acquisition assistance led to 359 employment outcomes (33% full-time in 13 projects). For example, 10 full-time employees were involved in construction at Verney Road to build a multi-aged care facility as bricklayers, concreters, labourers, supervisors and mentors. An ILC-purchased property at Balo Street, Moree, NSW, employed three Indigenous people part-time, while Jumbun Farm in north QLD employed three as casual farm workers. Training outcomes far exceeded the ILC’s target for 2010–11. The ILC encourages Indigenous clients and collaborating partners to pursue projects that produce training benefits for Indigenous Australians. Training outcomes were achieved across 36 land management and 14 land acquisition projects, particularly the Indigenous Protected Areas Partnership project (325 training outcomes), Edge of Nowhere Edible Gardens (558 training outcomes), Farm Training WA (392 training outcomes) and the Kimberley Ranger Program (197 training outcomes). Over 1,000 training outcomes were also achieved through the FaHCSIA-funded Jobs Program which operates across the NT (refer to case study on page 80). Training participants undertook a variety of accredited and non-accredited courses in the areas of: • Land Management; • Agriculture; • Construction; • Tourism; • Horticulture; • Beef Cattle Production; • Pest Control; • Horsemanship; • Hospitality; • Rural Operations; • Chef Apprenticeship; • Mechanic Apprenticeship; and • Business Administration. Social and community activities ILC assistance also delivers social and community benefits through the Land Acquisition and Land Management Programs. ILC assisted projects improved Indigenous people’s access to social services. For example, there were more than 12,000 client contacts for primary health care services at the Kalwun Health Service on the Gold Coast, QLD (see case study on page 61). The NCIE in Sydney hosted a number of community and sports events to engage Indigenous youth, including 5,000 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians through the campus, 150 young people from Vincentia, Santa Teresa, Ntaria, Papunya and Griffith in careers and aspirations camps, and 80 local young people in the NCIE’s school holiday program. The Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation (LNAC) provided 26,796 client contacts (an annual count of clients for relevant programs) with services including access to the Return to Country program, referrals to the program, brokering accommodation, assisting with proof of identification, facilitating watch house pickup and case management, outreach and transport services, and targeted family support services. The ILC’s reporting requirements often enhance the professionalism of these organisations. A progress report provided by LNAC stated: “While the above cannot be singularly attributed to the ILC support, enhanced reporting requirements required [by the ILC] have been major motivational and contributing factors driving the rapid and enhanced professionalism of the LNAC” Progress Report, 5 July 2011 (LNAC) In the Land Acquisition Program: • 280 Indigenous people participated in social and community activities, including 100 who accessed the Young Strong & Proud and Healthy Active Murri Kids programs at Ambleside Street in Brisbane; and • 11 social and community events were undertaken at Old Sister Kates, including volunteer events at the aged care facility and healing centre, launching of the seniors facility and the Healing Program, a smoking ceremony for a bush block and fetes attracting over 1,000 people. Additionally, 1,798 Indigenous participants attended social and community activities through land management assistance. Visitors to Murrayfield included school children, Indigenous families staying in the short-term accommodation and participants in cultural workshops. A total of 22 social and community events were held through the Land Management Program, particularly through training-to-employment initiatives on eight of the ILC’s Business properties.
