But the Government has accused them of copying Labor policy announced nearly three weeks ago.

The Liberals' policy would see $510,000 to provide traineeships for young indigenous people in the commercial and public sectors and trades.

The policy also includes a pledge of $90,000 to improve curriculum tools that help include the history of the Ngunnawal people in the education system.

Indigenous affairs spokesman Zed Seselja said, ''There is an opportunity to not only recognise the contribution indigenous culture makes, but also to improve outcomes for the community and increase awareness.

''We believe that indigenous Australians are an integral part of our community.''

A further $100,000 would be made available for a feasibility study into the establishment of an indigenous women's shelter.

But Indigenous Affairs Minister Jon Stanhope said many of Labor's policies had been replicated in the announcement, including the establishment of a healing farm, without any funding commitment.
