The Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney will hold her first bilateral talks with the Minister for M ori Development in New Zealand, Willie Jackson.
Ms Burney is expected to discuss a range of issues with Mr Jackson, including New Zealand's approach to treaty and reconciliation with M ori people, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and business partnerships.
The ministers will share experiences on policy making for First Nations and M ori people, and how to advance Indigenous rights within their respective countries.
There are leaders from the Indigenous and M ori business sectors who will be attending, with a view to discussing potential partnerships between the two nations.
The rights of the M ori people in New Zealand have been recognised since 1840 when M ori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi.
The treaty promised to give M ori people self-determination over their lands and resources, while giving the British Crown the authority to govern.
The treaty is not recognised as a part of New Zealand law except where it is referred to in acts of parliament.
There are currently no treaties between the Indigenous people and the government in Australia, but Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory have started the process of establishing state-based treaties.
The federal government has committed to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full, including a constitutionally enshrined voice to Parliament'' and establishing a Makarrata Commission, which would oversee a truth-telling and treaty process.
The treaty is now used as part of the Waitangi Tribunal in New Zealand, which acts as a permanent commission of inquiry on M ori rights.
The commission hears about M ori business and advises government on language preservation, land rights and cultural protections.
Critics say the protection of M ori rights outlined by the treaty is largely dependent on political will and often inconsistent, and the power of the Waitangi Tribunal is too limited.
The tribunal has advised that M ori people be given foreshore and seabed rights, but successive governments in New Zealand have ignored the recommendation.
The Waitangi Tribunal could be seen as a model of how a Voice and Makarrata commission could proceed, but Indigenous people are concerned that it could also be a model of how it could fail to protect them.
On the agenda for Ms Burney and Mr Jackson will be the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples UNDRIP The declaration outlines the minimum standards for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous people around the world.
Despite initially voting against the declaration in 2007, Australia adopted UNDRIP in 2009 and New Zealand in 2010.
Last year, Mr Jackson announced that a national plan was being developed to implement the UNDRIP framework in New Zealand and monitor improvements.
Progress on UNDRIP had largely stalled in Australia and two bills introduced by Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe earlier this year have relaunched the push to see the framework fully implemented.
An inquiry will be conducted into the application of the framework in Australia, and Senator Thorpe has introduced a bill to make sure that the government complies with the declaration.
Ms Burney will be in New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Friday, along with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Ms Ardern has been in Australia since Monday as part of a trade mission, visiting Melbourne and Sydney accompanied by a delegation of more than 30 New Zealand businesses.
Friday will be the second meeting between Mr Albanese and Ms Ardern since the May election.
