ABOUT THIS REPORT 1.1 1 About this report Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander terminology The Steering Committee acknowledges current debate around appropriate terminology to refer to the Indigenous peoples of Australia. Following feedback on previous editions of the report, this report generally uses the term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to describe Australias first peoples and non-Indigenous Australians to refer to Australians of other backgrounds, except where quoting other sources.
