Summary

Amends the

Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Act 1989
to: amend the appointment process for members of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS); reduce the functions of AIATSIS; reflect contemporary language and apply culturally appropriate terminology; and repeal redundant provisions which enabled the transition from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies to AIATSIS.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
