Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to work with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural material using required cultural protocols. It involves the complex and interrelated elements of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultures, which are the cultural and intellectual properties of specific communities; elements that may only be interpreted by required persons, for example those recognised by local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities as an Elder or custodian of local cultural knowledge.
The unit applies to individuals who source, handle, interpret and exhibit Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural material according to specific cultural and consultative requirements. The cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this unit may only be accessible to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. This unit also reflects that there is no single Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander culture.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
