image of First Nations Identity Fraud

Aboriginality fraud is a growing concern for our communities in NSW and around the world. The cost of ethnic fraud is difficult to ascertain due to many factors that contribute to it but we need to be aware of this epidemic of fraud.

We all want to be recognised for who we are and where we come from. At the same time, it is important that our identity is not falsely claimed or misused.

Fraudulent behaviour can also lead to an increase in racial stereotyping, mistrust, and cause less opportunities for genuine First Nations people. This is because the perpetrator may make decisions without considering the culture or wishes of their community group.

Contact the Premier | NSW Government

Aboriginality fraud is a growing concern for our communities in NSW and around the world.

We are calling on Premier Dominic Perrottet to undertake an First Nations identity audit for the Red Chief Local Aboriginal Land Council to see if there is an issue with members who have enrolled and their Aboriginal heritage claims.

First Nations identity fraud is making headlines around the world, and our state and federal politicians need to act on it.

"This inequality is the result of an inadequate policy that should be addressed."
