Aboriginal Education uses the decision made by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Social Justice and Race Discrimination Commissioner Mr Tom Calma (in consultation with key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups) that the words Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander be used instead of Indigenous.

Aboriginal Education will use the word Aboriginal and should be taken to mean Aboriginal, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and Indigenous.
