The First Nations Partnership Playbook was designed to provide the Australian Public Service with practical guidance and best-practice examples on working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The Playbook is not prescriptive, as each partnership will be unique, requiring the partners to determine arrangements that best suit their shared objectives. While the systems and structures of government can inadvertently create barriers to genuine partnership for public servants and their partners, many of the barriers are cultural and behavioural. The Playbook provides guidance on how to navigate
government processes in partnership, including the practices, behaviours and cultures which enable it.
