The new initiatives are expected to work towards improving employment opportunities and enhancing quality of life for Aboriginal people within the Northern Rivers Region.
The project consisted of the following four initiatives:
- Import replacement of Medicinal and Culinary Plant Product

- Aboriginal Employment Project
- Aboriginal Healing
The project started in October 2004 and is completed in July 2006 by Northern Rivers Regional Development Board in partnership with Indigenous Reference Group.
