However you can browse or search summary information about all native title applications on this site.
When searching by application name, typing the beginning of the name in the text box will generate results. Note that some group names may have more than one spelling. The spelling of application names on Tribunal databases is as per the spelling on application forms. If you are unsure of the spelling, you may wish to try browsing by application name.
When searching by Representative A/TSI Body area, note that not all applications are represented by the Representative Body, but that the area covered by the application falls within the Representative A/TSI Body area.
