The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation has marked its 30th anniversary by launching a podcast featuring Indigenous leaders who have been involved in the organisation's three-decade journey.

The podcast, The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation - 30 Years of Change, was launched by the corporation's chief executive Joe Morrison during the recent AIATSIS Summit 2025.

The first episode will feature Yorta Yorta man and Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation chair Ian Hamm, who will discuss how the organisation was forged following the landmark Mabo decision.

Mr Morrison said the podcast series would allow listeners to hear stories of change from some of Australia's most respected Indigenous leaders.

"It has been a privilege to record these conversations with such inspirational Indigenous leaders, and I'm grateful for the insights they have shared," he said.

"We deep dive into topics such as Indigenous economic empowerment, climate change and clean energy, environment and emerging markets, and Indigenous enterprise.

"What has stood out to me is the countless success stories these Indigenous leaders are able to share and the opportunities they are able to highlight given their professional and life experiences."

Mr Morrison said the ILSC had supported countless Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over the past 30 years when it came to regaining the control and care of their Country.

The ISLC was established on June 1, 1995, following the historic Mabo decision to assist First Nations people to realise the economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits that the ownership and management of land, water and water related rights could bring.

Originally called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Fund, the establishment of the ILSC in the mid-90s, provided a dedicated and ongoing mechanism for First Nations peoples to reclaim and manage their ancestral lands.

"As we take a moment to pause and reflect, we are immensely proud of the collective achievements forged in partnership with First Nations communities across the nation," Mr Morrison said.

"From vast land holdings supporting thriving Indigenous businesses to culturally significant sites returned to their rightful custodians, the impact of the ILSC's work is tangible and enduring."

Since 1995, the ILSC has invested more than $1.48 billion through 323 acquisition projects and 1,052 management projects, which delivered cultural revitalisation, economic development, environmental stewardship and social connections for Indigenous people.

ILSC chair Ian Hamm said celebrating the past three decades was not only about looking at past achievements but also a renewed commitment to the future.

"The ILSC will continue to partner with First Nations peoples, investing in their visions, and supporting their inherent rights to land and sea, ensuring a strong and vibrant future for all," he said.

The ILSC – 30 Years of Change podcast is available on Youtube and Spotify from the 3rd of June.
