In this module the terminology of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Indigenous peoples will be used. The use of this terminology does not in any way discount the rich and diverse cultures and lives of the many nations and communities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who live throughout Australia. The information in this module is intended to be used to support the process of 'finding out' about the individual needs and wants of your client/resident from his perspective and life view. The information should not be used to make care or service decisions without consultation with your client/resident within the context of his culture, beliefs, family and community. The module is not intended to be a comprehensive guide on providing care and services to older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
