This unit reflects the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and visual arts practices. It emphasises the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples controlling their own cultural heritage and identity.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
