Native Title Tribunal & Federal Court
The Native Title Act gives the Federal Court power to make a determination that native title exists. However, during the consideration of any application, proceedings move between the Court and the National Native Title Tribunal.
This Tribunal, which was established under the Native Title Act, is the venue for mediation and conciliation. It deals with applications referred to it by the Federal Court and is designed to complement the adversarial legal process. However, a court, must make the final determination.
