Indigenous cultural protocols are based on ethical principles that shape our working and personal relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It’s important to nurture these relationships because they are the First Australians. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have an intimate knowledge of the land and can teach us so much about caring for our environment.
The term ‘Indigenous Australian’ encompasses both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but Aboriginal people refer to themselves in ways that better connect with their identity.
