Welcome to the website of Registered Native Title Bodies Corporate (RNTBCs or PBCs as they are commonly known).This website is designed as a resource for RNTBCs and for those engaging with them. It provides information on legislation and policy, events, resources and publications.
RNTBCs have a significant role to play in the management of land and water in Australia. With the increasing number of native title determinations, RNTBCs have emerged as a key element of the native title system with almost 80 determined or waiting to be determined.While the struggle of RNTBCs has been recognised, there has been little acknowledgement of the resilience and hard work of native title holders who are often forced to provide services without being paid. RNTBCs need to operate effectively in order for native title holders to discharge their land management obligations, participate in the future acts processes and take advantage of opportunities to derive economic and other benefits from native title.
