The OID report measures the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have been actively involved in the development and production of the report. Section 1.1 describes the origins of the report, and section 1.2 describes its key objectives. Section 1.3 provides contextual information on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Section 1.4 includes a brief historical narrative to help put the information in the report into context. Section 1.5 summarises some recent developments in government policy that have influenced the report and section 1.6 provides further information on the Steering Committee and the OID Working Group that advises it.
"These reports generally uses the term ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians’ to describe Australia’s first peoples and ‘non-Indigenous Australians’ to refer to Australians of other backgrounds, except where quoting other sources." Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this publication may contain images of deceased people.

INDIGENOUS POPULATION AND LANGUAGE USE A2.3 Figure A2.3 Proportion of each State and Territory population who were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, 2011 Source: ABS 2013, Estimates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, June 2011, Cat. no. 3238.0.55.001; table A.2. The proportion of the population who were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander differed across jurisdictions. The NT had the highest proportion of its population who were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (29.8 per cent) and Victoria had the lowest (0.9 per cent) (figure A2.3). The largest proportion of the national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population lived in NSW (31.1 per cent). Other jurisdictions with relatively large Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations (greater than 10 per cent) were Queensland, WA and the NT (see chapter 3, figure 3.3.1; table A.2). Data on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population estimates and projections from 20012014 can be found in table A.3. Use of Indigenous languages The use of Indigenous languages is relevant to many areas of the report, but particularly the Governance, leadership and culture strategic area (chapter 5). It is estimated that around 250 languages were spoken by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians prior to European settlement, but today only around 120 languages are still spoken (AIATSIS and FATSIL 2005; Marmion, Obata and Troy 2014). 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 NSW Vic Qld WA SA Tas ACT NT Aust P e r c e n t
