We advise boards, policy teams, regulators, and executive leadership on the risks and opportunities connected to First Nations rights, interests, and leadership.

FNA is responsible for:

  • Developing First Nations MSS criteria for Australia’s Sustainable Finance Taxonomy

  • Designing and delivering the First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework© (FNSAF)

  • Conducting sector-wide and institutional governance reviews

Our engagements are strategic, time-bound, and tied to measurable outcomes. We operate behind closed doors, in the public domain, and in partnership with those serious about accountability.

Founded by Bec Blurton.

Bec Blurton is a strategic force in governance, investment, and First Nations leadership. A former Westpac Group Sustainability executive turned national thought leader, she is the founder of First Nations Affairs (FNA), a high-impact advisory reshaping how business, finance, and policy engage with Indigenous rights, risk, and sovereignty.

Bec led the development of the First Nations Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS) for Australia’s Sustainable Finance Taxonomy and created the First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework© (FNSAF), an industry-first benchmark now guiding ESG and governance practices across corporate and policy institutions. She advises boards, CEOs, and regulators on navigating material Indigenous risks and opportunities, and sits on the Technical Working Group for the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD).

With deep expertise spanning Indigenous economic reform, executive coaching, and climate governance, Bec combines lived experience with institutional fluency. She is known for cutting through performative engagement and delivering frameworks that carry weight - on Country, in boardrooms, and in global policy spaces.

Today, she works exclusively with leaders and institutions who recognise that First Nations engagement is a governance imperative.
