Aboriginal Cultural Protocols & Practise Policy - NSW Government Human Services Aboriginal Affairs
The purpose of this policy is to assist NSW Public Sector agencies to observe the appropriate protocols for the recognition of Aboriginal people at official events or at
events where the NSW Government is a major sponsor.
The type of ceremony undertaken at an official events should be appropriate to the nature and size of each event in accordance with the procedures set out below and
negotiations with local Aboriginal Elders and organisations.
It is important to note that ceremonies and practices differ from place to place. The planning timetable of official events should allow time for negotiations with
Aboriginal communities, as well, discussion and decision making within those communities.
