Abstract: In October 2016, Warren Mundine addressed the Minerals Council of Australia Workforce of the Future Forum in Canberra on the topic of Indigenous people and the future minerals industry workforce. In that address he said: "The questions and answers on the future workforce and economic development are the same for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. It’s not corporate social responsibility. It’s business. If you find the right solutions to the challenges, the outlook for Indigenous Australians and the future minerals industry workforce is bright."Following that address, the Minerals Council of Australia commissioned this paper to expand on the key themes and explore how the minerals industry can meet the challenges put to it in that address.
