Treaty Negotiation Framework

Treaty Negotiation Framework

The Treaty Negotiation Framework is the agreement between the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and the Victorian Government that sets out the rules for Treaty-making in Victoria. The Treaty Authority is responsible for making sure that negotiating parties follow the rules in the Treaty Negotiation Framework.  

The Treaty Authority acknowledges First Peoples as sovereign peoples throughout the lands and waters now known as Victoria and across Australia. We pay deep respect to all Traditional Owners, their lands, waters and skies, their Elders and ancestors, languages, family and clan groups, and their Lore, Law, customs, traditions and spiritual connections.
