Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies particularly to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and focuses on the specific cultural and consultative requirements for sourcing, handling, interpreting and exhibiting Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural material.
The cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this unit may only be accessible to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. This unit also reflects that there is no single Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander culture.
The unit deals with complex and interrelated elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, which are the cultural and intellectual properties of specific communities across the continent and islands of Australia. These may only be interpreted by appropriate persons, for example those recognised by the local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community as an Elder or custodian of local cultural knowledge.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material in a culturally appropriate manner.
