Sensitivity statement

Language

The Closing the Gap Clearinghouse uses the term ‘Indigenous Australians’ to refer to Australia’s first people. This term refers to ‘Aboriginal Australians’ and ‘Torres Strait Islander people’. The Clearinghouse Collections may contain words and descriptions that are culturally insensitive and not appropriate for contemporary use. Terms and annotations which reflect the author’s attitude or that of the period in which the item was written may be considered inappropriate today.

Deceased persons

Users of the Clearinghouse Collections should be aware that it may include images of deceased persons. In some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, seeing images of deceased persons may cause distress or sadness and, in some cases, offend against strongly held cultural traditions.
