Abstract: Aboriginal culture is one of the oldest surviving cultures in the world. Aboriginal cultures are numerous and diverse, made up of hundreds of different kinship and language groups that have adapted to diverse living conditions throughout Australia over many thousands of years. Torres Strait Islanders are a separate people with distinct identity and culture. Aboriginal cultures and Torres Strait Islander cultures are still dynamic and evolving and, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities form the context for the development of health policy.
