Native title describes the rights and interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people under their traditional laws and customs.

The rules about native title claims are complex and need specialist legal advice.

  • native title claims
  • Indigenous land agreements

The Department of Resources and the Queensland Government’s business and industry portal has information about native title, Indigenous lands and mining and resources in Queensland.
