Recommended Guidelines for Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander Terminology
Contact Officer: Senior Policy Officer, Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (IndigenousStrategy) Approval Date: 17/08/2021
Approval Authority: Indigenous Australian Advisory Committee Date of Next Review: 18/08/20241. Introduction
QUT acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play within the QUT community. Using respectful and inclusive language and terminology is an integral component of strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the wider university community. These guidelines outline QUT's preferred approach when communicating with orabout Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and issues. It aims to ensure there is consistent
understanding and accurate use of language and terminology across the university community. 2. Application
These guidelines apply to all staff, students, and members of the QUT community. The responsibility of ensuring the use of appropriate language and terminology rests with all members of the university community. They align with the QUT Staff Code of Conduct which requires that everyone be treatedfairly, honestly, and respectfully, and with proper regard for their rights and obligations (refer B/8.1 QUT
Staff Code of Conduct).
3. Acceptable Terminology
QUT's preferred collective terms to be used when referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are: 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander' and 'Indigenous Australians' Use of 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander''Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander' should be used when referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people collectively in all university communication. For example:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff
QUT | Recommended Guidelines for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander TerminologyPage 2 of 4
The term should always be capitalised and written in full and only used as an adjective in association
with a noun. In the correct context, it is acceptable to refer to a distinct group as separate from the other. For example:Aboriginal students
Torres Strait Islander students
Use of 'Indigenous Australian'
The use of the term 'Indigenous Australian' when referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanderpeoples collectively is also acceptable. When using the term 'Indigenous Australian', it should always
be capitalised. For example:Indigenous Australians
Indigenous Australian students
Indigenous Australian researchers
Indigenous Australian staff
The term 'Indigenous' on its own (for example Indigenous students or Indigenous staff) should beavoided as it is not necessarily specific to Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
4. Abbreviations and Acronyms
The use of abbreviations and acronyms to describe Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is not
acceptable and should never be used. For example:ATSI students
A&TSI staff
TSI communities
Their use is conside
red offensive and reduces the cultural diversity of Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander peoples and implies one distinct group.
Using abbreviations in tables, charts or surveys
because of limited space is not advisable. However, when forming part of an acronym to describe an organisation or program, abbreviations are commonly used and accepted. For example: NATSIHEC (National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Education Consortium) AIATSIS (Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies)NIAA (National Indigenous Australians Agency)
5. Regional or Geographical Terms
Regional or geographical terms are local terms often used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to refer to themselves. There may be some circumstances when these terms are appropriate, for example, when it is part of an organisational name.Otherwise, these terms should not be used,
unless directed by a local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.6. 'People' or 'Peoples'
The word 'peoples' acknowledges that there are two distinct cultural groups. The word 'people' or 'peoples' are both acceptable. For example:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have lived in the country we now know of as Australia for tens of thousands of years.
During my time in QUT, I have worked alongside many amazing Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander people.

7. Other Associated Terms and Definitions
'First Peoples'/ 'First Australians'/ 'First Nations''First Peoples' and 'First Australians' are collective names for the original people of Australia and their
descendants and are used to emphasise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples lived on this
continent prior to European settlement. 'First Nations' is a term that is predominantly used in NorthAmerica to refer to Canada's Indigenous peoples and historically it is not used in Australia when referring
to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 'First Nations' is generally used when referring to
International law as it is the preferred global term used in treaties and covenants. 'The first Australians'
or 'the first peoples of Australia' are also terms used quite frequently by Ab original or Torres StraitIslander peoples themselves.
'Elder'An 'Elder' is an identified and respected member of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
Elders generally hold key community knowledge and are expected to provide advice and support to community members. Age alone does not necessarily distinguish an Elder. Many Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islander peoples acknowledge Elders as 'Aunty' or 'Uncle' as a sign of respect, even if they are
not related. When using the term 'Elder' it should always be capitalised. 'Mob' 'Mob' is a term identifying a group of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people associated with a particular place or country. 'Mob' is more generally used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.Therefore, it may not be appropriate
for non -Indigenous people to use this term unless this is known to be acceptable to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with whom you are communicating with or about. 'Country''Country' is a term used to describe a culturally defined area of land associated with a particular culturally
distinct group of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 'Traditional Owner'/ 'Traditional Custodians' 'Traditional Owner'/ 'Traditional Custodians' are terms that are used in the context of an Acknowledgement of Country. They relate to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person or people directly descended from the original inhabitants of a culturally defined area of Country. 'Welcome to Country' A 'Welcome to Country' is a ceremony performed by Traditional Owners of the land and/or sea wherean event is taking place to welcome visitors. It can therefore only be performed by an Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander person with ancestral ties to the place where the welcome takes place. It can takemany forms including singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies or a speech in traditional language and/ or
English.
'Acknowledgement of Country' An 'Acknowledgement of Country' is a demonstration of respect for the Traditional Owners of the land on which a meeting or event is being held. It is recognition of the continuing relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their Country.An Acknowledgement of Country is
usually given at the beginning of a meeting, speech or other formal occasions. Unlike a Welcome toCountry, it can be given by a non
-Indigenous person or an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person who does not have an cestral ties to the place where the event is taking place. QUT | Recommended Guidelines for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander TerminologyPage 4 of 4
8. General communication advice
When communicating with or about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, it is also advisable to
consider the following It is always best to ask Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people how they would like you to refer to them. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples often use different terms, sometimes using traditional language or Aboriginal English, to refer to themselves depending on where they are from. It is not appropriate to assume that these terms can be used without appropriate consent. Do not use the words Aboriginals, Aborigine or Aborigines as people may associate this terminology to periods of colonisation and assimilation Outdated terms such as full-blood, half-caste and quarter-caste are extremely offensive and should never be used when referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The term 'black' and 'blackfellas' can have both positive and negative connotations. While it can signify solidarity, unity and political activism against racism to various groups around the world, it has been used also to devalue and victimise people on the basis of their skin colour. It is not appropriate to assume that these terms can be used without appropriate consent. Use a 'strength-based approach' to communication with and about Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander people
by focussing on strengths - agency, success, resilience, capability and resources. Avoid using 'deficit discourse' that represent people or groups in terms of deficiency - absence, lack or failure, particularly in comparison to non-Indigenous people.Related information
