There is no blanket recipe, as Aboriginal society
is too diverse. There are remote communities
such as Doomadgee or Mornington Island,
rural communities such as Innisfail or Boulia,
provincial towns or cities such as Townsville or
Rockhampton and major cities such as Brisbane,
Sydney and so on.
You may deal with one community in a certain
style and another community 100 kms away you
may deal with in a totally different way.
Accordingly, this protocol document is
intended purely as an aid and guide in whatever
process you use.
It is highly recommended that agencies
incorporate this document into their existing
cultural awareness training modules.

The following section of this booklet highlights
aspects of a range of protocols regarding
consultation and negotiation with Aboriginal
people. However, it needs to be emphasised that
every negotiation and consultation is unique.
You will find you may need to use a different
strategy for each process.

However, Aboriginal people specifically relate to
each other by tribal groupings and/or family
names or groupings e.g. “I’m a Batjala” or “My
mother was a Ross and she’s Darambal from
Kepple Island” and so on.
