CHMP inductions should be conducted as two distinct presentations with different purposes in mind. The first is a cultural awareness induction, the second is a site induction. Only inductions necessary for protecting and managing the Aboriginal heritage of the activity area need be included as conditions in a CHMP.
Note that an induction should not be required when no heritage has been identified during the assessment.
What is an induction and what topics should it cover?
Inductions are important for informing relevant personnel about the importance to Aboriginal people of the area in which they are working. They are also critical to inform relevant personnel about site-specific requirements in place to protect Aboriginal cultural heritage during an activity.
CHMP inductions communicate information about the Aboriginal heritage of an area and specific restrictions and requirements for people working onsite to protect Aboriginal cultural heritage during works. CHMP inductions are usually a condition of a CHMP where there is Aboriginal cultural heritage in the activity area, which requires adherence to conditions to protect.
See Step 13 for more information about conducting inductions.
