The Council is currently seeking Victorian Traditional Owners to sit on the following Advisory Committees:
- Policy and Communications Advisory Committee (PCAC)
- Legal and Policy Advisory Commitee (LPAC)
- Ancestral Remains (and Secret or Sacred Objects) Advisory Committee (ARAC).
Advisory Committee members are renumerated for their time, with meeting usually held at least once a month.
