More information

First Nations is used rather than ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’ and ‘Indigenous’ unless referring to the title of past policies. This was identified as preferred terminology by the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group in July 2021. Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung is used when referring to the Traditional Owners of Manningham. It is noted that there are many cultural differences between and within First Nations communities and while terms are often used interchangeably, the most appropriate terminology will be the way in which the community and or individuals wish to describe themselves. These preferences change with time.
