5  Prescribed program
 (1) For the purposes of subsection 33(1) of the Act, the First Nations Renewable Hydrogen Engagement Fund Program (the program) is prescribed.
 (2) The program provides funding to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations to support their engagement with Australia's emerging large-scale renewable hydrogen producers and to increase their capacity to represent the interests of their communities with project developers.
 (3)  The funding will enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations to engage with renewable hydrogen project developers and planning processes, including through:
             1. procuring independent technical, environmental, or financial advice on projects; and
             2. supporting a community representative to engage with project developers; and
             3. developing education materials and training programs.
 (4) The purpose of the program is to contribute to the capacity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations to engage with industry and ensure their perspectives, culture and traditions can be incorporated into the development and implementation of renewable hydrogen projects.
