Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Commission

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) is Australia's main Indigenous agency and this site is an important international resource for information on Indigenous programs, activities and issues.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission is Australia's national policymaking and service delivery agency for Indigenous people. We are an independent statutory authority established by the Commonwealth government ten years ago under the ATSIC Act. As such, we embody the principle of Indigenous self-determination and form the principal agency in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs portfolio.

ATSIC is a unique decentralised organisation which advocates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues nationally and internationally, advises the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, and delivers programs to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
