More about Indigenous Culture Support
The Indigenous Culture Support (ICS) program assists the maintenance and continues development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures at the community level.
The emphasis of the program is on participation by members of Indigenous communities, transmission of knowledge and skills across age groups, imaginative new forms of cultural expression and cultural exchange among different Indigenous communities and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultures in Australia.
The objectives of the ICS program are to:
- maintain Indigenous culture through community involvement;
- support new forms of Indigenous cultural expression;
- increase public awareness of Indigenous culture, including through the presentation and exchange of culture; and
- support the sustainable development of community organisations.
