New State Based Resources

Aboriginal Education policies, programs and consultative groups in Australian school sectors

We have gathered together a list of websites relating to Indigenous education for the three schooling sectors across Australia. They are organised under the following headings: home page, policy document and consultative group for each of the State, Catholic and Independent sectors. Where possible links have been included to relevant projects or strategies. Click here for the information about Western Australia

Relating to the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and issues in the curriculum.

The first ports of call for your work in this area are the policy which operates in your jurisdiction and the primary resources provided for direction and support. Individual independent schools may have their own policies related to these matters. Click here to find out more
