Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Representation in the AEU There are a number of ways that the AEU includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in its decision-making structures. For more information see:
Education is the Key. An Educational Future for Indigenous Communities
AEU Annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Seminar The AEU runs an annual seminar on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education as an adjunct to its Annual Federal Conference program. For reports on the seminar and more information see:
The Arthur Hamilton Award for Outstanding Contribution to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Education Since 1999 the AEU has conducted an annual award process for AEU members who demonstrate a commitment to the process of Reconciliation through education. The 2005 AEU Annual Federal Conference determined to re-name the award the 'Arthur Hamilton Award for Reconciliation in Education' in honour of Arthur who passed away in 2004 after a short struggle with cancer. Arthur was a proud Palawa man, Unionist and Educator from Tasmania whose leadership within the AEU will be sorely missed. The Award has now been renamed the Arthur Hamilton Award for Outstanding Contribution to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Education.
AEU Policies on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Issues The AEU has developed policies on issues relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education in the Public Education System:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Recruitment, Retention and Activism Involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members in the AEU is an AEU priority. As such, the AEU has developed an Indigenous Activism Strategy, Footprints to Our Future, to provide information to Union officials and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues. This will shortly be made available on the AEU website. For more information see:
The AEU works with and promotes a range of activities that compliment and support our work in Indigenous education. Resource materials and information on events can be found here:
