Appendix 1: Profile of Ninti OneThe business structure of Ninti One Limited (Ninti One) has changed since its beginning in 2003 when it wasestablished to operate the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre (DKCRC); in 2006 Ninti One businesswas separated from the DKCRC and became part of an unincorporated joint venture. Since 2010 Ninti One hasoperated as an independent company. This was driven by its success in attracting substantial commercial incomeand by the requirements of the Australian Government for signing contracts for the Cooperative Research Centrefor Remote Economic Participation (CRC-REP).Ninti One is governed by a Board of Directors, which includes the Chair and Deputy Chair. Under our constitution,at least two Directors must be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent and either the Chair or the DeputyChair must be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Directors are appointed by the Members by election at anannual general meeting. The Managing Director is appointed by the Board and is also a director. For names anddetails of current Ninti One Board members, please consult our website: www.nintione.com.au. Currently, 50% ofour Board is made up of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people.Ninti One creates value for its partners and for remote Australia by delivering new knowledge in the form ofresearch results. We enable our partners to build their own internal research capacity and to train their own staffand members.
