    Abstract

    In 2008 Sarah Oberklaid reviewed the state of Indigenous knowledge systems in the Planning
    Institute of Australia (PIA)-accredited University planning programs and found a fragmented
    unfocused suite of agendas and attempts at addressing this increasingly important moral,
    cultural and land use management issue. While Oberklaid statistically validated what several
    authors have observed, and continue to observe, there appears to have been little action by
    programs, and specifically the PIA (Planning Institute of Australia), to address this issue and reposition their education accreditation policies; with the latter increasingly reluctant to engage
    with their professional responsibilities. This paper appraises this situation and foreshadows
    continuing research that may better inform and support a change of perspective by the PIA and
    these programs.
