WHO WE ARE
We are Australia’s only national institution focused exclusively on the diverse history,
cultures, and heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia. We house the
world’s most important and extensive collection of cultural information and material, and
we provide leadership, publish, and promote greater understanding and appreciation of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We create opportunities for people the world
over to engage with and be transformed by the knowledge, the culture, and the story of
Australia’s Indigenous peoples. We are Australia’s national institution for leadership in
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research.
WHAT WE DO
We care for a priceless collection, including films, photographs, video, and audio recordings
as well as the world’s largest collection of printed and other resource materials for
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies. We undertake and encourage scholarly,
ethical, community-based research in a variety of sectors, including health, native title,
languages, and education. Our publishing house, Aboriginal Studies Press, regularly
publishes outstanding writing that promotes Australian Indigenous cultures.
Our activities affirm and raise awareness of the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories.
Our functions are established under the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Studies Act 1989.
These functions are to:
- provide access to a national collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
culture and heritage.
- use that national collection to strengthen and promote knowledge and
understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.
- provide leadership in the fields of:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research; and
activities relating to collections associated with Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples; and use (including use for research) of that national
collection and other collections containing Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander culture and heritage.
- lead and promote collaborations and partnerships among the academic,
research, non-government, business and government sectors and
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in support of the other
functions of the Institute.
- provide advice to the Commonwealth on the situation and status of Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.
We are an Australian Government statutory authority. The Minister responsible for AIATSIS is
