Aboriginal Participation in Construction Guidelines The Aboriginal participation in Construction Guidelines were re-published in a simplified format to promote their greater use. Through these guidelines the NSW Government is creating employment opportunities for Aboriginal people in the private sector. Under the Guidelines, NSW Government agencies can require construction companies engaged on government-funded construction activities to include Aboriginal people in those projects by employing Aboriginal staff, or by sub-contracting to Aboriginal enterprises. Two Ways Together Regional Action Plans Under Two Ways Together Regional Action Plan have been developed which focus on actions to improve the well being of Aboriginal people; the identified actions are cross-agency or are genuinely new.
