AIGI acknowledges the traditional owners of the land, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
 
AIGI may use the terms Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander interchangeably. The term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander is used most frequently to refer to the many nations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the continent and islands now called Australia. This aligns with our endorsement of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Wherever possible, care has been taken to reference individual language groups. When we work with specific communities or language groups, we seek guidance from those with authority about the respectful and appropriate language protocols. We acknowledge and respect that terms preferred in different jurisdictions and locations may vary.
