Challenge

The Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006, CATSI Act, brings Aboriginal Corporations more in line with mainstream corporate law. It provides added flexibility and protection, and in some cases places extra responsibilities on Directors and CEOs.

Existing Aboriginal Corporations need to amend their rules to comply with the CATSI Act by 30 June 2009. New groups incorporating under the CATSI Act need to ensure their rules comply with the Act.
