New details, educational institute revealed as Australia's first treaty looms

Under Australia's looming first formal treaty agreement, Victoria's elected Aboriginal body will be given powers to create new institutions.

The First Peoples' Assembly says it plans to create a new education facility to boost the skills of Aboriginal people across the state.

Victoria's first treaty is expected to be signed before the end of this year, with the Statewide Treaty Bill expected to be introduced to parliament in coming weeks.
