From 1 May 2008 we are known as the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC). Please note that this site contains information and publications which predate this change, they were published under our previous names, ORAC and ORATSIC.
A flyer about our name change to ORIC. Published April 2008. Although current legislation does not require it, ORIC publishes a yearbook to
share unique and critical information relevant to improving outcomes for
Indigenous peoples in Australia. The content of this publication is more
detailed than its contributions to the departmental annual reports. It
includes case studies and data to illustrate major issues, and we report more
fully on the solutions we have found and the work we are doing for long-term
improvement. Some of the material is about work in progress, included to
encourage feedback and discussion.
We are ORIC now!
