Maiem, Sew Ngapa! This year we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) and acknowledge the resilience, achievements and aspirations of our people and our region. As one of the most remote Australian Public Service (APS) agencies, TSRA supports programs across the Torres Strait region, including for the 17 inhabited islands of the Torres Strait and the communities of Bamaga and Seisia on the Northern Peninsula Area of mainland Australia. We are a statutory body and the lead Commonwealth agency in the Torres Strait for Indigenous Affairs, operating under the direction of an elected Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal Board. TSRA operates within the Prime Minister and Cabinet portfolio and works closely with the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) to provide greater autonomy and improve the lives of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal peoples living in the Torres Strait region, by contributing to a healthier, safer and more prosperous region. The Torres Strait stretches 150 kilometres northwards from Cape York Peninsula to Papua New Guinea (PNG) and up to 300 kilometres from east to west. This 48,000 km² area includes more than 270 islands and reefs.
