Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures
A_TSICP1 First Nations communities of Australia maintain a deep connection to, and responsibility for, Country/Place and have holistic values and belief systems that are connected to the land, sea, sky and waterways.
A_TSIC2 First Nations Australians’ ways of life reflect unique ways of being, knowing, thinking and doing.
A_TSIC3 The First Peoples of Australia (Aboriginal Peoples) belong to the world’s oldest continuous cultures.

The significant and ongoing contributions of First Nations Australians and their histories and cultures are acknowledged locally, nationally and globally.
