Relationalist Governance – Wajin Research Hub Skip to content

Overview

Relationalist Governance is based on Indigenous philosophies that place relationships between people, Country, and all living beings — at the centre of decision-making. This program explores alternative models of governance that prioritise responsibility, balance, and community well-being.

Current Projects

Research collaborations on Indigenous governance frameworks

Policy engagement with government and community organisations

Workshops and seminars introducing relational governance principles to wider audiences

This program aims to inspire new ways of thinking about governance in Australia and internationally moving away from transactional systems and towards governance built on respect, care, and connection.
