Native Title Prescribed Body Corporate
A Native Title Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBC) is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation especially formed in accordance with Australian native title law to hold the native title of groups of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders whom the Federal Court determines as possessing Indigenous property rights and interests.
Under sections 55-57 of the Native Title Act 1993, as part of the determination of native title, native title groups are required to nominate a PBC to hold (as trustee) or manage (as agent) their native title. Following a determination, Prescribed Bodies Corporate are entered onto the National Native Title Register, which is maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal. At this point, the corporation becomes a Registered Native Title BodyCcorporate (RNTBC).
The kind of bodies that can be determined as PBCs (and therefore registered as RNTBCs) and their functions are set out in the Native Title Act 1993 and Native Title (Prescribed Bodies Corporate) Regulations 1999.

“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind.

—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“There is no prescribed method for resolving every specific conflict a mother has with her child, and there is certainly no method that will enable her to have exactly what she wants....There is, however, a larger goal, which is to establish and over-all climate of reasonableness, one in which she and her child can hear each other.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Jupiter, not wanting man’s life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason—you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
