Protocols for use of ‘Aboriginal’ and ‘Torres Strait Islander’
This information sheet provides a guide for Queensland Health

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are under-identified in many health-related data collections. Self-report in response to the standard Indigenous status question is the most accurate means of ascertaining a client’s Indigenous or non-Indigenous status.
