Melany also highlighted some of the efficiency gains organisations can achieve through systematically organising their records. She reviewed key steps involved in developing an information management plan, including assessment of the types of information and records held and how these are stored, used and managed. Such an information analysis provides the basis for more adequately assessing information management needs. More information about the issues Melany discussed is available in Appendix F. For the purpose of this report, Melany has also provided advice about implementing an EDRMS (Appendix G). Presentation 5: The information management journey of Gunditj Mirring Damein Bell, Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation To learn more about how native title groups are getting on with the task of managing their information and knowledge holdings, we invited representatives from three organisations from across the country to present at the workshop. Damein Bell, Chief Executive Officer of Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC), spoke first. Gunditj Mirring was established in 2005 by Gunditjmara traditional owners to progress their rights and interests in native title, cultural heritage and caring for their traditional lands, which are located in the far south-western corner of Victoria. After providing historical and geographical background information on the Gunditjmara claim, which was determined in 2007, Damein spoke about the strategies that Gunditj Mirring has implemented in relation to its precious holdings of native title information and cultural knowledge (see Appendix H). He shared information about the organisation’s operating structure, its service agreement with the local Native Title Service Provider (NTSP), Native Title Services Victoria (NTSV), and its use of Microsoft OneNote software to assist with record management. Damein also spoke about the Gunditj Mirring Indigenous Ecological Knowledge Partnership Project, an initiative to research, discover and record traditional and contemporary Gunditjmara land management practices and ecological knowledge for use in contemporary and future planning. The four-year project is a partnership between the Gunditj Mirring and the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority. The project is supported through funding from the Australian Government Caring for Our Country program and began in 2009. Through an agreement with Gunditj Mirring, NTSV continues to provide administrative, and policy support to Gunditj Mirring, which has allowed the PBC
